How Voting Works
The voting system is designed to surface genuine priorities, not just popularity.
Credit-Based Voting
Unlike simple thumbs-up voting, our credit system lets you express the intensity of your preference:
- 10 credits on one feature = "I really need this"
- 2 credits each on five features = "These would all be nice"
This produces a more accurate signal of what users truly prioritize.
Casting Votes
To vote on a feature:
- Open the feature details
- Adjust the credit slider (1-100 credits per feature)
- Confirm your allocation
Your vote is immediately reflected in the feature's total.
Changing Your Mind
Votes aren't permanent. You can:
- Increase your allocation if remaining credits allow
- Decrease your allocation to free up credits
- Remove your vote entirely
Changed votes update totals in real-time.
Vote Visibility
- Your votes are visible only to you
- Aggregate totals are visible to everyone
- Individual vote amounts are not disclosed
How Votes Influence Decisions
Product teams use vote data as one input into prioritization. High-vote features get more attention, but votes don't guarantee immediate implementation. Factors like:
- Technical feasibility
- Strategic alignment
- Resource availability
...all influence the final roadmap.
