Why this template
What this template is built to do — we found no directly comparable template from other survey tools to review.
What sets it apart
- Scores every initiative (Bet A–D) across all three ICE dimensions — Impact, Confidence, and Ease — using dedicated opinion-scale questions, not just a single composite risk rating
- Pairs each quantitative ICE score with a matching open-text question capturing risks, dependencies, and assumptions for that specific initiative, so scores come with rationale attached
- Includes a ranking question and a forced single-choice 'if only one could be funded' question that let you cross-validate the calculated ICE scores against stakeholders' gut prioritization
- Closes with an AI follow-up interview that adaptively probes the reasoning behind a respondent's prioritization, plus role, region, and tenure segmentation to see how views differ by stakeholder type
