Make opportunity trade-offs comparable.
Scoring gives every opportunity the same decision frame, so teams can discuss priority with more than instinct and the loudest voice.
Define what matters to your organisation
Open Settings → Scoringand add the criteria you use to compare opportunities. Set each criterion's weight as a percentage of the complete 100% allocation, choose whether a higher or lower value is better, and reorder the list to match the conversation your team has when deciding what deserves attention. A new criterion starts at 0%, so adding it does not change any existing weight or opportunity score. Weight changes save together only when the allocation totals 100%. The score is a weighted average of the 1–5 ratings. Telos seeds familiar Reach, Impact, Confidence, and Effort criteria as a starting point, but does not use the classic RICE multiplication and division formula. The rating scale maps 1 to 0, 3 to 50, and 5 to 100.
Record the judgment beside the evidence
Score criteria in the Properties panel while creating an opportunity, or later from the anchored score popover on its detail page. Both use the same workspace-defined criterion order. The detail scorecard shows supporting customer context alongside the inputs and records who made each assessment. The weighted total is shown once every criterion with a non-zero weight has been scored.
Use the number to improve the discussion
A 0–100 score is a comparison aid, not an automatic priority order. Review the criteria and their evidence when opportunities look close, then use objectives, customer commitments, and delivery reality to make the decision explicit.
