# Dev Request Prioritizer — MCP tool `findutils:dev_request_prioritizer`

Prioritize development requests with the page's scoring frameworks and return them sorted by priority score, each with a value score and an effort/value quadrant (quick win, big bet, fill-in, money pit), plus a top recommendation and totals. Frameworks: "default" (weighted value ÷ √effort over Customer Impact, Revenue Impact, Strategic Value, Urgency, Risk), "rice", "ice", "wsjf", "moscow". Score each request 1-10 per dimension, keyed by dimension name; optional confidence weighting and a deadline boost (+20% within 7 days, +50% within 3, +100% overdue, capped by deadline_boost_multiplier).
