Product Compass
TrueRank

From backlog chaos
to stack rank clarity.

Most teams don't struggle with prioritization because they lack frameworks. They struggle because they're using the wrong one.

TrueRank is an AI agent that stack-ranks 2-10 problems scientifically. It evaluates your product context—team size, stage, constraints, and goals—then selects the right framework and scores each problem, giving you a clear, defensible ranking.

Why prioritization frameworks fail

It's not that frameworks don't work—it's that they're context-dependent, and most teams don't match the framework to their situation.

❌ The wrong framework

RICE works great for growth teams with clear metrics, but it's terrible for early-stage products where everything is uncertain. Yet teams use it anyway because "everyone does."

❌ Mismatched scale

A 3-person startup using the same framework as a 200-person enterprise team? That's like using a bulldozer to plant a flower. The overhead kills velocity.

❌ Stakeholder mismatch

Some frameworks require high stakeholder alignment and buy-in. If you don't have that, the framework becomes theater—lots of scoring, no action.

❌ Ignoring constraints

You can't use frameworks that require abundant data if you don't have data infrastructure. You can't use frameworks that need executive alignment if your execs are checked out.

The result? Teams waste time on frameworks that don't fit their reality.

TrueRank fixes this by matching frameworks to your actual context—not generic advice.

Who TrueRank is for

👤

Product Managers

You're tired of frameworks that don't fit your team's reality. You need something that actually works for your constraints, not generic "best practices."

🎯

Product Leaders

You're scaling teams and need consistent prioritization approaches that adapt to different product stages and team sizes. One size doesn't fit all.

🚀

Startup Founders

You're moving fast with limited resources. You need lightweight frameworks that help you prioritize without slowing you down or creating overhead.

🔄

Teams in Transition

Your team is growing, your product is evolving, or your stage is shifting. Your old prioritization approach doesn't work anymore, and you need to find what's next.

If you've ever thought "this framework doesn't fit us," TrueRank is for you.

Stop forcing square-peg frameworks into round-hole contexts.

What TrueRank does

📝 Accepts 2-10 problems

Input your problems in any format—vague ideas, feature requests, or well-defined initiatives. TrueRank helps clarify ill-framed problems before ranking them.

🎯 Evaluates your product context

TrueRank asks about your team size, product stage, current challenges, constraints, and goals to select the right prioritization framework for your situation.

📊 Selects the right framework

Based on your context, TrueRank chooses the appropriate framework (RICE, ICE, Value/Effort, Cost of Delay, etc.) and asks targeted questions to score each problem.

⚠️ Detects prioritization anti-patterns

TrueRank actively challenges common PM biases: shiny object syndrome, everything marked P0, unrealistic estimates, HiPPO prioritization, and sunk cost fallacy.

🏆 Delivers a ranked list

Get a clear, defensible ranking with scores and justifications. Copy directly to Slack, email, or presentations—no separate export step needed.

💾 Remembers your product context

Save your product context for future sessions. As your product evolves, revisit TrueRank to re-rank problems with updated context.

What you'll get from TrueRank

A clear, defensible ranking with scores and justifications

🏆 Ranked List with Scores

Your problems ranked from highest to lowest priority, with scores and clear justification

Example:
1. Improve onboarding flow (RICE: 85) - High reach, clear impact, low effort
2. Add team collaboration features (RICE: 62) - Medium reach, high impact, medium effort
3. Redesign settings page (RICE: 28) - Low reach, low impact, low effort

📊 Framework Selection Explained

Clear explanation of why this framework was chosen for your context

Example: "I used RICE scoring because you have clear metrics, a growth-stage product, and need to communicate priorities to stakeholders. This framework provides the quantitative rigor your leadership team expects."

⚠️ Bias Warnings & Reality Checks

Active detection of common prioritization anti-patterns with specific callouts

Example: "⚠️ Warning: You marked 4 out of 5 problems as 'high urgency.' If everything is urgent, nothing is. Consider: which ONE problem, if solved, would make the others easier or irrelevant?"

📋 3 Copy Formats

Simple list, with justification, or formatted for Slack/email—copy directly, no export needed

🗺️ Optional: Build Roadmap

Map ranked problems to quarters, visualize dependencies, and create timeline views

All rankings are context-specific and bias-aware, not generic scoring from templates.

What TrueRank is NOT

❌ Not a framework picker tool

TrueRank doesn't just list frameworks and let you choose. It evaluates your context deeply and recommends what will actually work—and flags what won't.

❌ Not generic "best practices"

There are no universal "best" frameworks. What works for Airbnb doesn't work for a 5-person startup. TrueRank gives you context-specific guidance, not blog post listicles.

❌ Not a replacement for judgment

TrueRank helps you find frameworks that fit your constraints, but you still need to adapt them to your specific situation. Think of it as a guide, not a script.

❌ Not a prioritization tool itself

TrueRank doesn't prioritize your backlog. It helps you choose the right framework to do that work. It's a meta-tool—a tool for choosing tools.

❌ Not a one-time recommendation

As your product evolves, your prioritization needs change. TrueRank saves your context so you can revisit recommendations as your team grows or your stage shifts.
