About the Buy a Feature Template
When we talk about the price of something, we are essentially evaluating its worth or value. In the domain of real estate, it is often said that the value of a property is determined by how much a buyer is willing to pay for it.
The Buy a Feature Template Template is designed around this very concept. Its main objective is to reveal the actual significance people attach to certain aspects rather than just what they claim to value. This approach creates tension and limitations by presenting options that exceed the available resources.
The resulting decisions provide valuable insights into which features, concepts, or initiatives hold the most significant and should be prioritized in the future.
