It depends on your product and how it structured, but I usually like to have steering committees, and they are the people who agree on the prioritization criteria. You then use that criteria to manage your backlog. The key is getting the right people on the steering committee to agree to the criteria because at that point, nobody can argue with you

Send them a proposal to triple your headcount :)

Have them prioritize it for themselves. Even if you got 3x more people, that takes time to recruit, train, etc. Let them fight it out amongst themselves so they also can negotiate and re-frame whosever KPI will be missed.
Wow thank you
