Value vs Effort Matrix

Prioritize recipes by impact and implementation cost.

High Value · Low Effort

Quick Wins

Do these first. Maximum return for minimal work — aim assist, FOV lock, recoil tables.

High Value · High Effort

Major Projects

Schedule deliberately. Kernel drivers, DMA firmware, hypervisor bypass — high reward, steep cost.

Low Value · Low Effort

Fillers

Nice-to-haves. UI polish, minor QoL tweaks, optional overlays. Batch when idle.

Low Value · High Effort

Avoid

Time sinks. Over-engineered config systems, speculative features without demand. Say no.

How to Score

  • 1.Rate value 1–5: detection safety, user demand, competitive edge.
  • 2.Rate effort 1–5: dev hours, complexity, maintenance burden.
  • 3.Plot on the matrix. Top-left quadrant ships first.
