Business intelligence, clarified.
Get your organization ready for AI.
Aclara is Plain Language International’s AI readiness platform — built specifically for local governments and civic-minded organizations. Audit your content, workflows, and communication capacity before AI adoption creates costly gaps.
How ACLARA Works
Four dimensions. One clear score.
ACLARA evaluates your organization across the dimensions that actually determine AI readiness — then gives you a prioritized roadmap, not just a number.
Content Quality
We assess the clarity, consistency, and structure of your existing documents, policies, and resident-facing content — the raw material AI will work with.
Workflows
We surface the processes that exist only in people’s heads — and evaluate how well your organization has documented what staff actually do.
Staff Capacity
We evaluate confidence, training, and communication practices across departments — because AI adoption is a people challenge as much as a technical one.
Clarity Process
We assess how information flows across your organization — the channels, formats, and norms that will determine whether AI outputs reach the right people.
Who It's For
Built for people accountable for what happens next.
ACLARA is designed for local government leaders making AI decisions — not for IT departments evaluating technical specs.
CAOs & City Managers
You’re accountable for AI adoption outcomes across the organization. ACLARA gives you an honest picture of where you stand before committing to vendors or pilots.
CMOs & Comms Directors
We surface the processes that exist only in people’s heads — and evaluate how well your organization has documented what staff actually do.
Dept. Heads & Managers
You know your workflows better than anyone. ACLARA helps you document and assess them — so AI adoption in your area starts from a solid foundation.
