Decide what to build with clarity and control.
AI-assisted roadmap clarity for SaaS founders. Review the ranking. Adjust what matters. Own the decision.
Feature Rankings
LiveAI Writing Assistant scores highest due to strong alignment with your ICP (content teams) and high-confidence evidence from user interviews. The effort is moderate but justified by projected impact on activation rates.
We're prioritizing AI Writing Assistant this quarter. It has the strongest signal from user research, aligns with our ICP focus, and is scoped to ship in 6 weeks.
The problem
You don't lack ideas. You lack structured clarity.
Every SaaS founder knows the feeling. Too many options, not enough framework to decide.
Competing requests from customers, sales, and your own instincts
Circular debates in Slack that never reach a conclusion
Gut decisions that feel risky when money is on the line
No good answer when the team asks "why this and not that?"
The system
Clarity comes from structure.
Every feature idea is scored across four pillars. AI provides the initial reasoning. You refine it based on what you actually know.
Impact
Does this move key metrics? AI evaluates potential based on your stated goals.
Alignment
Does it fit your strategy and ICP direction? Keeps you focused on what matters.
Confidence
How strong is the evidence? Surfaces assumptions so you can challenge them.
Effort
What does it cost to ship? Inverted in scoring so lighter efforts rank higher.
AI suggests scores and rationale. You edit both based on your real context.
How it works
From chaos to clarity in three steps.
Add your ideas
Drop in 2-5 feature ideas you are considering. A short title and optional context is all you need.
Review AI scoring
AI proposes pillar scores and writes a short rationale for each. You see exactly why something ranked where it did.
Adjust and share
Override any score. Tweak assumptions. Generate a team summary that explains the decision clearly.
The aha moment
Decisions you can explain to your team and stand behind.
