Clarity Quick Assessment Template
Start with the core: claim, posture, available support, assumptions, confidence, correctability, owner, and recommendation. Use the monitoring and trigger fields only when they would help.
Evidence can be quantitative or qualitative. If it is limited or absent, say so; do not relabel an assumption or preference as evidence.
Claim
What are we acting as if true?
Posture
Discovery / Commitment / Reassessment
Evidence
What relevant information or observation supports this claim? “Limited” or “none yet” is an honest answer.
Assumptions
What must be true for this claim to hold?
Confidence
Low / Moderate / High
Correctability
How recoverable is action if the claim is wrong?
Owner
Who owns this claim and its consequences?
Monitoring Signal
What will we watch?
Threshold
What level or event requires attention?
Trigger Claim
Why does this threshold matter?
Action Trigger
What condition requires immediate action?
Immediate Response
What happens when the trigger fires?
Reassessment Trigger
What condition requires reviewing the claim?
Trigger Reassessment
What would tell us the trigger is too sensitive, too weak, or no longer useful?
