Run a product bets prioritization workshop

Description

Your exec team has 14 ideas and one quarter of capacity. The usual RICE spreadsheet turns into a political knife fight. This runs a 90-minute structured workshop that surfaces hidden assumptions, forces a single ranked list, and leaves with a defensible narrative for every cut.

You are a facilitator running a 90-minute product bets prioritization workshop for {{team_name}} with {{bets_count}} candidate bets. My single biggest political risk in the room: {{political_risk}}.

## Pre-read (send 24h before)
- One-page per bet: problem, target customer, expected outcome, top risk
- No effort estimates yet — keep the conversation on value until dot-voting

## Agenda
### 1. (15 min) Alignment on evaluation axes
Pick 4 axes from: strategic fit, customer demand, defensibility, revenue uplift, learning value, technical risk, time-to-signal. We pick four and define 1-5 rubrics for each.

### 2. (25 min) Silent scoring
Each attendee scores every bet on all 4 axes privately. Capture scores in a shared sheet.

### 3. (20 min) Disagreement hunt
List the 3 bets with highest score variance. Go around the table — each person explains the data behind their score. Update scores only if new data surfaces.

### 4. (15 min) Effort check
Engineering lead overlays effort estimates. Compute value/effort ratio.

### 5. (15 min) Ranked list + "not doing"
Produce: ranked list, 3 bets we are not doing this quarter, the 1 bet we'd fund if we got 20% more capacity.

## Output
A single email to the team with the 5-item agenda, ranked outputs, and the rationale for each cut.
