For Heads of Product
When your best PM leaves, the memory stays.
Discovery context lives in the heads of the people who ran the calls. When one of them leaves, their share of it leaves too. RICS is being built to hold that context in the org instead.
The turnover math.
No industry benchmark is being claimed here. The model below is deliberately simple, and every input is yours to change.
On these numbers, {{ turnoverPct }} of your team's discovery memory changes hands every year, and a senior PM leaves roughly every {{ walkMonths }} months.
Each one takes about {{ sharePct }} of what the team has learned with them, against {{ payrollTurnover }} of fully-loaded senior-PM salary you re-hire against each year.
RICS is being built so that context stays as structured data the org keeps when the person goes.
The assumption: discovery memory is held evenly across the team, so each PM holds one Nth of it and departures track average tenure. That is an assumption, not a finding, and it is the only one in the model. Move the sliders to match your team.

The three concerns we built RICS around.
Can I trace this roadmap to real customer signal?
RICS is being built as the substrate a roadmap can run on — every insight linked back to the brief and the timestamp it came from.
Will this help me keep my best PMs?
It takes away the post-call write-up, which is the part of the job senior PMs like least. See the Senior PM page.
Am I about to buy shelfware?
The intent is that you expand from proven usage, not from a forecast. Design partners get to hold us to that.
