Effort vs Impact Analyzer

Ranks initiatives based on difficulty and expected return.

Ready-to-use prompt
Act as a strategic prioritization consultant. Evaluate each initiative on my list and place it into an effort vs. impact matrix.

Context: "[COMPANY_CONTEXT]"

Initiatives to evaluate:
[INITIATIVE_LIST]

For each initiative:
- Impact Score (1–10): Estimated business/traffic impact if successful
- Effort Score (1–10, lower = more effort): Estimated resources required
- Matrix Quadrant:
  - Quick Wins (High Impact, Low Effort)
  - Strategic Projects (High Impact, High Effort)
  - Fill-Ins (Low Impact, Low Effort)
  - Time Sinks (Low Impact, High Effort)

Produce a populated 2x2 matrix. For Time Sinks, recommend whether to drop entirely or find a lower-effort version. For Strategic Projects, provide a realistic timeline estimate.
