Overview
Prioritization is saying no on purpose. Every framework here exists to replace "loudest voice wins" with a shared, inspectable trade-off. The score is never the decision — it's an argument you can audit. This skill covers the major frameworks, when each is the right lens, how to score without lying to yourself, and the failure modes that make teams distrust the whole exercise.
