I have a go-to evaluation system for best ROI items in a brainstormed list amongst team members. First we generate the list, which ends up with, say, three dozen items from 6 of us. Then name a reasonably small but large-enough number like 10. Everyone may put 10 stars by items, max 2 per item, for any reason they like, including “this would be best for my morale”. Sort, pick the top three to use. Any surprises? Discuss them. (Modify numbers like 8, 2, and 3 as appropriate.)
This evaluation system is simple to implement in many contexts, easily understood without much explanation at all, fast, and produces perfectly acceptable if not necessarily optimal results. It is pretty decent at grabbing info from folks intuitions without requiring them to introspect enough to make those intuitions explicit.
