Feature priorities: impact against effort
Ten features placed by effort and impact, divided at 5 on both axes into quick wins, major projects, fill-ins and thankless tasks. Each area is named quietly in a corner that no point or name takes; the description lists the features of every area and the table gains a Quadrant column. Illustrative estimates, with a phone variant.
