Canny top-20 MRR temperature check
Keep a short list of the twenty requests with the strongest mix of MRR and votes so roadmap debates start from commercial reality instead of raw volume.
Why this can grow a startup
Long boards create the illusion of rigor while hiding the few requests that can actually move revenue. Appcues tracks a top twenty list ordered by MRR and vote count, while their Salesforce integration pushes votes and comments back to account notes. That gives product, sales, and CX one compact review surface with enough context to make weekly calls. The useful part is not the exact number twenty. It is the discipline of forcing the team to look at a small commercial queue instead of admiring a large one.
Company example
Appcues sorts requests by MRR from Salesforce, keeps a top 20 "temperature check," and pushes Canny votes and comments into Salesforce account notes.

When to use it
Use this when Sales, Product, Analytics is relevant to revenue prioritization, salesforce, roadmap review and you can run a bounded test with a mid budget.
When not to use it
Do not use it as a substitute for customer evidence, a clear owner, or a measurable stop condition. Local platform rules and market behavior still need checking.
