Understanding Clarity Scores

    How we calculate your deal score

    What is the Clarity Score?

    The Clarity Score measures how clear and specific a deal's terms are — not whether they're "good" or "bad." A high score means the terms are well-defined; a low score means there's ambiguity that could lead to misunderstandings.

    "Clarity Scores reflect the presence and specificity of deal terms, not legal sufficiency, fairness, or enforceability."

    Score Bands

    80-100

    Aligned

    Deal terms are clear and ready to proceed.

    60-79

    Needs Alignment

    Key areas may require clarification before signing.

    40-59

    High Ambiguity

    Multiple terms lack specificity and may cause friction.

    Below 40

    Unclear

    Deal contains significant ambiguity.

    Important Note

    A deal with "unlimited usage rights" clearly stated will score high on clarity — even if unlimited rights aren't ideal for a creator. The score measures how well-defined terms are, not whether you should accept them.
