The Priority Groups report organizes your ideas into natural groupings based on their pair scores, helping you visualize where ideas align in terms of priority.
By comparing these groupings, you can identify subtle differences between ideas and use those insights to inform your decisions.
What Is the Priority Groups Report?
The report divides your ideas into tertiles and quintiles, showing how ideas cluster based on their pair scores.
- Tertile Grouping: Simple high/medium/low classification.
- Quintile Grouping: More granular classifications (e.g., medium-high and medium-low) that highlight marginal differences between ideas.
How to Read the Table
Compare Groupings
The table shows how ideas are classified in both the tertile and quintile groupings.
- Ideas in the same group across both groupings are consistently prioritized.
- Ideas that differ between groupings (e.g., high in tertile, medium-high in quintile) are on the margins.
You can look at a specific segments by choosing one from the Filter by dropdown. You can also download the Priority Groups table as a CSV file by clicking “Download table as CSV.”
Focus on Marginal Differences
Marginal differences -- such as an idea ranked “high” in tertiles but “medium-high” in quintiles -- can reveal where priorities are less clear-cut.
Example: If you’re prioritizing website features, the top two ideas might appear in the high group for both tertiles and quintiles, while the third idea is high in tertiles but medium-high in quintiles. This suggests the third idea is less critical than the top two, guiding you to allocate more resources to the top ideas.
Why Differences Between Groupings Matter
Differences between the tertile and quintile groupings highlight ideas that are close to the thresholds of their groups. These insights can guide nuanced decision-making. For example:
- Ideas consistently ranked high across both groupings are clear priorities.
- Ideas near the margins (e.g., medium-high vs. high) may need further consideration or validation.
Best Practices
1. Use Groupings to Identify Priorities
Look for clusters of ideas within the high priority group across both classifications. These ideas should receive the most attention.
2. Pay Attention to Marginal Ideas
Ideas near the boundaries of their groups (e.g., medium-high vs. high) can provide valuable insights about where to allocate resources.
3. Balance Resource Allocation
Use differences between the groupings to refine your strategy. For example, ideas consistently ranked high across both classifications should get more focus than marginally ranked ideas.
Final Thought
The Priority Groups report helps you classify ideas naturally, providing a clearer picture of where priorities align and diverge. By focusing on both groupings and their differences, you can uncover insights that lead to smarter decisions and better resource allocation.
