The method makes visible why two seemingly incompatible demands arise and which assumption must be tested to resolve the conflict.When ideas need sorting quickly, it condenses impact, confidence, and effort into one compact score. It connects customer value, product logic, and decision priorities. The result is captured as an ICE table and top-ideas list.
