Ideas 2x2 chart: Scorecard with multiple metrics summed to make up x and y axis

I've recently been asked to implement something similar to score the Ideas being logged. I can't build the 2x2 chart to represent the more complex calculation for each axis that we need to be useful when evaluating those Ideas we want to promote.

I hope Aha! will reconsider. I just made a custom scorecard for the sole purpose of using an 8-point scale for impact and effort rather than the default 100-point scale. Dragging an idea onto the quadrant chart does set the Aha! score if I use the default scorecard, but does not do it if I use my custom scorecard. Also, if I set the impact and effort using the sliders, the chart doesn't use the Aha! score to position the idea. I'm confused at why this functionality is seen as optional.

I too am a little confused by this one.  Visualizing features on a chart is enormously valuable to help with prioritization. 

However, it is awkward that the chart uses metrics of a scorecard as opposed to the calculated results of two scorecards to determine the location on a chart.  

I suppose the chart works if your scorecard equation is very simple (Impact vs Effort), however we have found that simplifying the scorecard to something based upon those two metrics alone are simply not quantitative enough.

It would be great to be able to plot the results of two idea score cards on the chart for visualization, enabling me to have more customized visualization of priorities.

I agree with the comments already stated, could not have said it better myself.

The Ideas chart and the ability to create custom scorecards are two of the most valuable tools within the Aha platform. It's a shame that when I decide to take advantage of one cool feature, I render the other useless. There are a lot of factors that go into determining Impact and Effort - that's the reason for custom scorecards in the first place - why not look for ways to let the results from a custom scorecard show on the Ideas Chart? Implementation might be as simple as creating two new equation input boxes on the Create Scorecard screen, one box for the calculation of Impact, the other for the calculation of Effort. Let the user decide how these two things are calculated. Expose these two calculated variables on the Ideas Chart screen and voila!

I find it akward that Aha supports metrics and score cards, but then reverts to manual positioning on charts for visualization. Other tools allow to use numeric values for value and effort to create a chart. 

Although it is nice that Aha supports custom score cards, it should be possible to use (metrics of) the scorecard to construct those plots. As long as this is not supported, I will still find myself reverting to excel to make the corresponding plots.

This would be an excellent additional feature to the tool.
