Definition
ICE is a prioritization framework that scores each potential change on three axes: Impact (expected effect on the metric), Confidence (how sure we are it'll work), and Ease (how cheap it is to ship). Each axis scored 1-10. The product (or weighted average) ranks experiments. Used heavily in CRO, growth, and product backlogs.
