Clario Reviews™

One method. Every project communication.

Misunderstood communication becomes rework, delay, and cost. Each Clario Review™ measures the Communication Effectiveness of one type of project communication before those costs appear.

A shared standard

Every review uses the same Clario Method™ and Five Signal evaluation

  • Purpose
  • Action
  • Decision
  • Tone
  • Shared Understanding

Signals are scored 0, 1, 3, or 5, producing a Clario Score out of 25 and a Communication Effectiveness percentage — so results are comparable across every review. About the method
