The operating rule

Evidence before adjectives.

The Bench separates what was observed, what was calculated, and what is interpretation. If a study is exploratory, small, or vulnerable to selection bias, the report says so where readers can see it.

Protocol library

Useful before the first respondent.

Original working guides—not dressed-up survey results. Use each note to plan, review, or challenge a message test.

Message Clarity Review Rubric · version 1.0

Five questions. One disciplined baseline.

This editorial heuristic is a planning instrument, not a validated scale or population norm. Its job is to expose weak assumptions before paid fieldwork.

1

Clarity

Can a reader restate the message accurately?

2

Evidence

Is each important claim matched to support?

3

Relevance

Does the benefit answer a real audience need?

4

Distinctiveness

Could a competitor say the same thing?

5

Actionability

Is the requested next step obvious and proportionate?

Important: A high planning score does not prove market performance. It only indicates readiness for a more informative test.
