The real bottleneck

You already know how to build. You do not know what to cut.

Shipping is not the hard part any more. Deciding is. Every feature you keep is a month you spend, so the list you refuse to trim quietly becomes your roadmap.

Why blind

Comparison bias changes your ranking.

Same features. Two methods. Different v1. When the whole list is in view, everything looks essential. Score each one on its own and the truth separates out.

Stretching scope. Most features have a clear priority, but some overlap may need trimming before you commit.

The ritual

The workflow is the product.

Free through Scope Score. Pro finishes the handoff. About fifteen minutes for the free ritual if you already know your features.

Brain dump

Get every idea out of your head

Top scores hold the weight, but mid-list clutter is pulling focus off v1.

The obvious question

Why not just ask a chatbot to rank them?

Because a chatbot ranks the features for you, and a ranking you did not make is one you will not defend. Priora forces the decision, then keeps you honest about it.

Frequently asked questions

Chatbots give answers. Priora gives structure. You rank every feature blind before anything else happens.
Then prove it. Rank every feature without seeing the others.
The workflow is the product. Scope review is one step. You make every decision.
Neither do we. Priora exists before planning starts. You leave with a scope, not a backlog.
Unlimited projects. Brain dump, rank blind, reveal, Scope Score, and a copyable priority list. No credit card.
Pro adds discovery brief before scope review, microscan coaching on every feature add, featurecoach on reveal, scopereview with follow-up questions, prioradocs.zip, founder preferences and saved analyses. Your rankings stay yours. The Assistant suggests; you decide.

Indie founders and solo builders who already know how to ship. You have too many ideas and need discipline before code.
No. Free runs through Scope Score and gives you a copyable priority list. Pro continues with Discovery, Scope Review, and a PrioraDocs pack.
Yes. Your projects stay. Pro steps lock until you subscribe again. Nothing is deleted.
Pro monthly is €24/mo. Pro yearly is €20/mo billed €240 once a year (two months free vs monthly). Founders is €199 once and unlocks Pro for the lifetime of the plan, capped at the first 200 buyers. Pick monthly if you want to test the workflow, yearly if you know you'll keep it, Founders if you want in early and lock the price in.
Pro monthly and yearly: refunds are handled case-by-case for billing errors, no refunds for partial periods after you've used Assistant or exported PrioraDocs. Founders: full refund within 14 days of purchase if you haven't downloaded a PrioraDocs pack yet. Once you download a pack, Founders is non-refundable.
Account → Your data exports every project, feature list, saved analysis and PrioraDoc as a JSON archive. Account → Danger zone deletes your account and everything tied to it. Both work whether you're free, Pro, or Founders.
