The Clarity Coefficient™

Cutting Through Corporate Fog

The Clarity Coefficient™ is a simple yet ruthless metric designed to evaluate how clearly and honestly someone, usually a high-ranking executive, communicates during interviews, panels, or published thought-leadership fluff. Think of it as the verbal equivalent of a breathalyzer for BS.

Most public-facing corporate interviews are filled with buzzwords, vague platitudes, and statements so safe they could be printed on HR posters. The Clarity Coefficient breaks through that, scoring interviews across five brutal categories:

Are they being honest, or are they just spinning PR silk?
Can a human actually understand what they’re saying?
Is this a fresh thought, or just recycled LinkedIn sludge?
Do they dodge tough questions or confront head-on?
Is it painful to read, or does it actually spark interest?

Each category is scored from 0 to 2. The total, out of 10, is the Clarity Coefficient.

A perfect score means the interview was honest, sharp, jargon-resistant, and maybe even memorable. A low score means someone talked for a long time without saying anything at all.

Where executives love to “circle back” and “leverage synergies,” the Clarity Coefficient does something radical: it tells the truth.
