ClearMeasureLabs /values-check -- Clear Measure Values Check
Pressure-tests a decision, plan, or piece of client-facing work against Clear Measure's core values before you commit to it.
When to invoke
- Before finalizing a client proposal, staffing decision, or scope change
- When a decision "feels off" but you can't articulate why
- Onboarding a new hire to how Clear Measure expects decisions to be made
What it checks
For the decision or plan under review, walk through each value and ask the associated question:
- Serving Others First -- does this put the client's/teammate's interest ahead of ours where they conflict?
- Empowered Employees -- does this equip people to do their best work, or does it route every decision through one person?
- Building Relationships -- does this build trust, or does it trade trust for short-term speed?
- Excellence -- does this meet Clear Measure's bar, or does it just meet the minimum?
- Authenticity -- can we say this plainly to the client/team, or does it require spin?
- Trusted Partner -- would we be comfortable with the client seeing exactly how this decision was made?
Inputs
- The decision or plan itself -- the user pastes the proposal, staffing plan, or scope-change text directly; this skill doesn't pull from a tracker, it evaluates whatever text it's given
- If the plan only exists verbally, ask the user to state it in a sentence or two first -- don't infer the plan from surrounding conversation
Example output
Values check -- proposal to bill this sprint's bug fixes as a new feature
Value Result Serving Others First 🚩 Flag -- this favors our billing convenience over the client's accurate understanding of what they're paying for. Empowered Employees ✅ Pass Building Relationships 🚩 Flag -- if the client later notices, this trades short-term revenue for long-term trust. Excellence ✅ Pass Authenticity 🚩 Flag -- we would not want to explain this line item plainly to the client. Trusted Partner 🚩 Flag Concrete change to resolve: Bill the fixes under a "defect remediation" line item at the agreed support rate, and note in the client update which defects were pre-existing vs. newly introduced this sprint.
