Add a score for impact and effort to determine the ratio between them.

I would vastly prefer a prompt that would ask users WHY they voted for a feature, eg "what problem would this solve for you?" right after they vote, instead more mystery numbers

Mike, who will be able to add those values? The customer? Or the admin?

Great one! The impact should be inserted by the user/poster, right? The effort is something you as an admin should add to it. Maybe also add a 'cost' valuation to it?

Basically you could filter on an impact/effort/cost ratio to figure out: What is cost-efficient with less effort to build but has a high impact.

Right now a feature that is just a little bit useful to everyone would get a lot more votes than something that is a game-changing mission critical feature to the top 20% of your users. Some systems solve this by allowing people to vote 2-3X for the same feature, but only on a limited number or ratio of features so you can't just say everything is critical to you. As long as there's some way that forces users to be a bit honest about how crucial features really are to them, it can lead to much better feedback than a binary vote for sure!

Maybe a separate "heart" or "star" favorite system (like a tinder super-like) a user could use a limited amount of times could then let you calculate the ratio of voters who favorite it to come up with a sort of impact score. Down the road, perhaps giving users more "super-votes" could even been an engagement/gamification tool to reward more active community members.
