What's Inside the Framework

ICE Scoring Framework

Score test ideas on Impact (0-10), Confidence (0-10), and Ease (0-10). Multiply to get ICE score. Highest scores = highest priority.

Test Idea Backlog Template

Pre-built Google Sheets template to capture, score, and prioritize all your test ideas in one place.

50+ Pre-Scored Test Ideas

Common high-impact tests organized by funnel stage (Awareness, Consideration, Conversion, Retention) with typical ICE scores.

Sample Size Calculator

Built-in calculator to determine how long to run tests based on your traffic, baseline conversion rate, and minimum detectable effect.

Traffic Allocation Guide

How to allocate limited traffic across multiple concurrent tests without sacrificing statistical power.

Test Documentation Template

Standardized format to document hypothesis, variations, success metrics, and learnings for every test.

Understanding ICE Scoring

I

Impact (0-10)

How much will this test improve the metric if successful?

10 =Massive impact (+50% conversion rate improvement)
5 =Moderate impact (+10-20% improvement)
1 =Small impact (+1-5% improvement)
C

Confidence (0-10)

How confident are you this test will win?

10 =Near-certain (strong data, customer feedback, competitor evidence)
5 =50/50 chance (gut feeling, some evidence)
1 =Low confidence (complete guess, no data)
E

Ease (0-10)

How easy is this test to implement?

10 =Trivial (copy change, 15 mins, no dev needed)
5 =Moderate (requires design + dev, 1-2 days)
1 =Complex (major engineering, weeks of work)
Formula:
ICE Score = Impact × Confidence × Ease
Example: Impact (8) × Confidence (7) × Ease (9) = 504 ICE Score
