Working with Priorities
Priorities are groups of similar feedback, ranked by importance. There is no artificial cap on priorities. More feedback creates more priorities.
How Priorities Are Created
- Assess - Each feedback item is assessed for meaning
- Group - Similar feedback is combined automatically
- Score - Importance metrics are calculated across six dimensions
- Rank - Priorities sort by your chosen focus
Website-Aware Classification
Connect your website and Circuit classifies feedback in your product's language. Urgency levels and category themes use your domain terminology instead of generic labels.
Circuit picks this up automatically when you sign up: your email domain is used to find your website and scrape context in the background. To change or add a URL manually, go to Settings → Account → Your product.
Category Corrections
If a priority is categorised wrong, correct it. Circuit remembers the correction and applies it to future feedback. Even when new feedback arrives on the same theme, the corrected category sticks.
Priority Engine
Each priority is scored across six dimensions. Use the dropdown at the top of the Priorities page to sort by the one that matters most right now.
| Focus | Categories | Best For |
|---|---|---|
| User Growth | All | What most users want |
| Revenue Growth | All | Enterprise needs |
| Retention Risks | Complaint, Bug, Friction | Fix what's hurting |
| Delighters | Praise | Enhance what works |
| Bug Fixes & Quality | Bug, Friction | Critical issues first |
| New Features | Feature | Roadmap input |
Priority Indicators
| Indicator | Meaning |

| Refresh badge | Brief is stale. New feedback has changed the scope since the brief was last generated |
Competitor Mentions
When customers mention competitors in their feedback, Circuit surfaces it on the priority card and includes context in the brief. You see which names come up, how often and whether users are comparing features or actively switching.
Filtering Priorities
- Click a category badge on any priority to filter by that type (Bug, Feature, Friction, Praise, Complaint)
- Use ⌘K / Ctrl+K for quick semantic search across feedback, priorities and briefs
