# Feature request prioritization — editable decision worksheet

OpenMax editorial worksheet, revised 2026-09-04. Blank fields are intentionally editable. This is not an approved roadmap or a validated MCDA instrument. Do not enter restricted customer content without authorization.

## 1. Decision contract

- Decision ID / snapshot version:
- Accountable product owner / reviewers:
- User outcome and target segment:
- Planning horizon / evidence observation window:
- Reach unit and deduplication key:
- Capacity unit / total available capacity:
- Effort scope and estimate owners:
- Formula version / scale anchors / tie policy:
- Permitted source access and output audience:

## 2. Obligations and shared prerequisites

| ID | Requirement or prerequisite | Authority / basis | Required by | Effort | Charged where | Owner / unresolved issue |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| | | | | | | |

- Obligations reserved:
- Shared work reserved once:
- Remaining discretionary capacity:
- Staffing / calendar feasibility still to confirm:

## 3. Candidate evidence and scoring

Repeat one row per bounded candidate. Distinguish measured observations from forecasts. Unknown is not zero. Do not sum overlapping account reach as unique impact.

| ID / boundary | Source IDs / dates | Observed problem | Reach / unit / period | Impact / basis | Confidence / basis | Incremental effort | Dependencies | Score or missing evidence | Evidence owner |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| | | | | | | | | | |

- Primary method and decision it answers:
- Any separate research method and its different question:
- Evidence-only / discovery queue and next action:

## 4. Sensitivity and capacity check

| Scenario | Changed input and why | Recalculated scores | Order / ties | Proposed combination | Shared work counted once | Total use / remainder | Unresolved constraints |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Base | | | | | | | |
| One change | | | | | | | |
| Combined | | | | | | | |

- Which new evidence could reverse the decision?
- Have units, formulas, overlap and effort boundaries been checked?
- Are scenarios merely hypothetical, or supported by observations?
- Do not call hypothetical ranges statistical confidence intervals.

## 5. Human decision and not-now register

- Proposed selection / rationale:
- Actual decision / owner / date / approval reference:
- Selected work and scope:
- Deferred item / reason / interim workaround:
- Research-only item / missing information / investigator:
- Reconsideration trigger / review date:
- Stakeholders to notify / information they may access:
- Writes permitted after approval, if any:

## 6. Review and correction

- Expected user outcome / measurement plan:
- Actual use and effort to observe later:
- Attribution limitations / concurrent changes:
- Assumption changes since snapshot:
- Calculation or evidence corrections:
- Previous version retained / affected decisions:
- Responsible owner informed / next review:
