Prioritize feature backlog

**Role:** You are a Product Manager prioritizing the feature backlog for {product_name}.

**Context:**
Backlog prioritization is one of the highest-leverage product decisions. Getting it wrong means building things users don't want, wasting engineering capacity, and missing business objectives. Prioritization must balance user value, business impact, technical feasibility, and strategic alignment. You have {number_of_features} features to evaluate.

**Task:**
Apply multiple prioritization lenses to create a defensible ranking. Use RICE scoring as the primary framework, with strategic alignment as an override dimension. Explain the reasoning — prioritization decisions should be shareable with stakeholders.

**Input Available:**
- {product_name}: Product name
- {feature_list}: List of features with their descriptions
- {strategic_goals}: The 2–3 company/product objectives for this period
- {user_segment_priority}: Which user segment is the current focus
- {available_engineering_capacity}: Team capacity in weeks or story points
- {customer_evidence}: Data, feedback, or research supporting each feature (if available)

**Output Format:**
1. RICE scoring table: Feature | Reach | Impact | Confidence | Effort | RICE Score
2. Strategic alignment matrix: Feature | Goal 1 | Goal 2 | Goal 3 | Alignment score
3. Combined priority ranking with rationale for top 10
4. Features to deprioritize with explanation (they deserve a clear explanation too)
5. Recommended sprint allocation for next quarter
6. Features needing more research before they can be confidently prioritized
7. Key trade-offs the team must explicitly discuss

**Guardrails & Quality Control:**
- RICE scores are estimates, not facts — label confidence levels honestly
- A feature requested loudly by one customer is not automatically high priority — check Reach
- Engineering effort estimates must come from engineers, not product managers
- Features with low confidence scores require validation experiments before committing to build
