AdLens metric definition

    Message Clarity

    How clearly the video communicates what is being offered, why it matters, and what the viewer should understand or do next.

    What AdLens evaluates

    • How quickly the central proposition becomes understandable
    • Alignment between spoken words, on-screen text, visuals, and the call to action
    • Whether competing ideas or unexplained transitions make the message harder to follow

    What it does not prove

    • Clarity does not prove that the claim is true or legally compliant.
    • A clear message is not automatically persuasive or distinctive.

    How to read the score

    The same shared interpretation bands apply to every AdLens metric. The model rationale and evidence explain why a particular creative falls within a band.

    0–65

    Needs work

    Important signals are missing, inconsistent, delayed, or difficult to follow.

    66–85

    Effective

    The creative communicates well, with identifiable opportunities to make it stronger.

    86–100

    Strong

    The relevant signals are clear, consistent, and well integrated across the video.

    This proposed edit has not been re-analyzed and does not claim a new score or uplift.

    2. 2.Remove claims or scenes that compete with the main proposition.
    3. 3.Make the final action specific, visible, and consistent with the story.
