Q3 initiatives by effort and impact

Eight initiatives placed by the planning group against two judged axes. The onboarding checklist is the recommendation: it is the highest-impact item in the low-effort half.

Q3 initiatives by effort and impact Illustrative planning frame, not a measured dataset. Eight initiatives placed by judgement against two named axes: impact on the vertical, more upward, and effort on the horizontal, more rightward. The origin is not arbitrary — it is the median effort and the median impact of these eight items, so each initiative sits above or below its own set's midpoint rather than an absolute scale. The high-impact low-effort cell holds the onboarding checklist, search filters and the weekly usage digest; the high-impact high-effort cell holds workspace permissions and the public API version two; the low-impact high-effort cell holds the legacy importer rewrite; the low-impact low-effort cell holds the docs refresh and keyboard shortcuts. The focal mark is the onboarding checklist, the highest-impact item on the low-effort side. Placements are judgements, not measurements: no coordinate here was read off a dataset, and no item sits on an axis line.

Illustrative planning frame — the eight initiatives and their placements are invented to demonstrate the quadrant grammar and describe no real backlog. Placements are judgements against two named axes, not measured coordinates; had they come from a dataset this would be a scatter instead. The origin's meaning is stated on the canvas and in the description, axis polarity is declared in data-reading-order, no mark sits on an axis line, and mark size encodes nothing. The four cells are not filled in four colours — position and label already carry the claim. A quadrant has no value scale, so data-baseline is not-applicable. Colour resolves through design-system tokens; where no project tokens are compiled the page falls back to the documented neutral palette declared in :root. Static, script-free, and offline.
