How it works
RICE = reach × impact × (confidence/100) ÷ effort.
Validation and launch
RICE prioritization calculator
Calculate a RICE score for an initiative using reach, impact, confidence, and effort over the same planning horizon.
- RICE score
- 400
A relative score across comparable initiatives, not a financial return. Standardize horizon and impact scale before ranking.
Worked example
Reach of 1,000, impact 1, confidence 80% and effort of 2 person-months give a score of 400.
Assumptions and limits
A relative score across comparable initiatives, not a financial return. Standardize horizon and impact scale before ranking.
