Prevent unclear work from entering execution.
Your team's biggest bottleneck? Bad Jira tickets.
Poorly defined tickets don’t just cause bugs — they quietly drain sprint capacity.
-
Engineers start work with incomplete context
-
Requirements get clarified after work has begun
-
Tickets are rewritten mid-sprint
-
Work is paused, reworked, or reopened
-
Velocity looks fine — until deadlines slip
This isn’t a documentation problem.
It’s an execution problem.
Most teams lose 10–30% of sprint capacity to unclear work — without tracking it.
Once work starts, it’s already too late to fix this cheaply.
Unclear tickets silently break your delivery pipeline
No enforcement at workflow transitions (Backlog → In Progress → QA)
-
QA validates assumptions instead of requirements
-
Releases slow down, trust in estimates erodes
Clarity Value Calculator
Estimate the value of reducing avoidable clarification + rework once tickets reach In Progress.
Assumptions & what this includes
- Waste = time lost to avoidable clarification, scope confusion, bounced tickets, and rework caused by unclear requirements.
- Impact range = expected reduction of that avoidable waste once tickets are reviewed before work starts.
- This is a capacity/cost estimate (not a guarantee). Teams can reinvest reclaimed time into features, quality, or speed.

How Clarity stops unclear work before it starts
Ticket Readiness Scoring
Clarity evaluates every ticket against clear readiness criteria and highlights gaps before work begins — so unclear tickets don’t enter execution..
Workflow Gate Enforcement
Integrate directly with your Jira workflow to enforce readiness at key transitions. Tickets don’t move forward until requirements meet your team’s standards.
Real-In-Context Enforcement Feedback
When tickets fail readiness checks, Clarity explains exactly what’s missing — directly in Jira — so issues are fixed before they cost sprint time.
Safe & Secure
Embank Clarity runs on AWS-hosted infrastructure with strict data isolation.
-
Your Jira tickets are never used to train models
-
Data is processed only to evaluate ticket readiness
-
No long-term storage of ticket content
-
Region-based processing (EU or US) to support GDPR requirements
Predictable Handoffs
Clarity ensures tickets are truly ready before they move between teams — so handoffs don’t introduce ambiguity, delays, or rework.
-
Tickets are evaluated against clear readiness criteria at workflow transitions
-
Requirements are validated before reaching engineering or QA
-
Handoffs occur with shared assumptions, not guesswork
-
Work proceeds with confidence instead of follow-up clarification
When handoffs are predictable, execution stays on track and sprint outcomes become reliable.
Consistent Quality Standards
Clarity enforces the same ticket readiness standards across every team and workflow stage — so quality does not depend on who wrote the ticket.
-
Every ticket is evaluated against explicit quality criteria
-
Standards are applied consistently at workflow transitions
-
Incomplete or ambiguous tickets are flagged before execution
-
QA and engineering receive the same level of clarity, every time
The result is predictable execution, fewer reworks, and no variation in quality from sprint to sprint.
Enforced Readiness Across Teams
Clarity enforces a shared definition of “ready” before work begins — so product, engineering, and QA operate against the same standard.
-
Tickets are evaluated against explicit readiness criteria
-
Gaps are flagged automatically at workflow transitions
-
Work does not proceed until requirements meet your team’s standard
-
No subjective handoffs, no interpretation drift, no late surprises
This ensures every team starts from the same assumptions — and execution stays predictable.
