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

  1. Assess - Each feedback item is assessed for meaning
  2. Group - Similar feedback is combined automatically
  3. Score - Importance metrics are calculated across six dimensions
  4. 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.

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

Batch Actions

Select multiple priorities to act on them at once. Checkboxes appear on hover.
