One methodology.
Multiple pathways.
Every Silk Clarity assessment is built on the same research-informed Communication Signature™ framework. The methodology never changes.
What changes is the audience, the context and the way the assessment is delivered.
Every Communication Signature™ — for an individual, a hiring decision or an entire organisation — is produced using the same evidence model and assessment framework. Consistent, comparable, professionally defensible.
Five stages. Digital by default. Practitioner when it matters.
This is the canonical Silk Clarity assessment journey. Every pathway below uses the same five-stage model, the same evidence sources and the same Communication Signature™.
One model. Five stages. Continuous evidence.
- Stage 01Behavioural Communication Baseline
An unprompted communication sample collected before any reflection or assessment priming.
- Stage 02Self-Report Assessment
Structured reflective questions exploring how participants perceive their communication.
- Stage 03Structured Behavioural Assessment
Scenario-based communication activities completed online. Natural patterns meet specific professional demands.
- Stage 04AI Evidence Synthesis
Independent evidence sources are analysed together. Convergence and divergence are surfaced rather than averaged away.
- Stage 05Communication Signature™
A multi-source portrait across the six dimensions, with confidence levels and development priorities.
Focused practitioner conversation that surfaces additional behavioural evidence through dynamic interaction.
Extended assessment for senior and executive contexts. Practitioner observations are incorporated into the participant's Communication Signature™.
- Rehearsals
- Quarterly reassessments
- Progress tracking
- Updated Communication Signatures™
- Optional annual practitioner review to enrich the longitudinal evidence record.
Everything begins with the same methodology.
Designed for the people who depend on communication.
