Amplifi Intelligibility Score & Analytics

Turn subjective judgement into objective, auditable scores.

Amplifi's Cognitive Risk Engine scores every document instantly.It assesses the likely understanding of all communications by moving beyond surface-level readability metrics to evaluate the deeper intelligibility of a document.


Know exactly how intelligible your communications are, and prove it to regulators.

What Is Intelligibility?

A Score That Measures Genuine Comprehension Risk

Intelligibility is the ability of consumers to be able to read, understand and use the information to inform their actions, and to understand and foresee their risks, rights and costs. In short, information must be genuinely understandable to the people it is meant to serve.

Goes Beyond Readability
Assesses conceptual complexity, ambiguity and language clarity - the factors that actually prevent understanding, not just surface metrics.
Consumer Group Specific
Scores content against the comprehension levels of different reader groups, including vulnerable consumers and those with lower literacy levels.
Academically Validated
Built with FCA support, tested with the SRA, and grounded in 50+ years of research. The science is what makes the score defensible.

Readability Scores Are Not Enough

Firms must move beyond using readability metrics as a means of testing their communications.  
Readability (in practice usually taking just sentence length and word length as a measure) has been shown to be a poor predictor of understanding outcomes in a number of studies. The FCA has signalled that they won’t trust standard readability scores as a proxy for understanding:

Standard Readability Assessment
Calculating sentence length and average syllables per word. The complexity is not measured and captured in the score.

Amplifi Intelligibility Assessment
All readability metrics are measured. Along with the complexity analysis required for an accurate prediction of intelligibility.

Readability scores alone usually overlook complexity and a user's comprehension…”

Powered by our Cognitive Risk Engine™

The score measures how intelligible a communication is likely to be for a given reader group, going beyond standard readability metrics to assess conceptual complexity, ambiguity, and genuine comprehension risk.

It is expressed as a single, consistent score from 0 to 100, mapped to a five-level intelligibility scale, where Level 1 represents the highest risk and Level 5 represents the lowest.

The Only True Measure of Intelligibility

Level 1
0-25
Education Level: GCSE
Reach: 0% of the UK adult population.
Your content is likely to be understood by a reader who has at least a postgraduate degree education or equivalent level of professional experience. This equates to around 10% of the UK adult population
Level 2
26-50
Education Level: Undergraduate Degree
Reach: 34% of the UK adult population.
Your content is likely to be understood by a reader who has at least an undergraduate degree education or professional equivalent. This equates to around 34% of the UK adult population.
Level 3
51-70
Education Level:A Level > GCSE
Reach: 58-72% of the UK adult population.
Your content is likely to be understood by a reader who has between an A Level and GCSE (A*-C) education or equivalent. This equates to a range of 58%-72% of the UK adult population.
Level 4
71-90
Education Level: GCSE
Reach: 82% of the UK adult population.
Your content is likely to be understood by a reader who has a GCSE level of education. This equates to around 82% of the UK adult population.
Level 5
91-100
Education Level: Pre-GCSE
Reach: 90% of the UK adult population.
Your content is likely to be understood by a reader who has a pre GCSE level of education. This equates to over 90% of the UK adult population.

Developed in collaboration with regulators including the FCA and SRA
And academic partners including UCL, Nottingham University, Queen Marry University and Cardiff University. Our intelligibility models are now trusted and used by regulators themselves, providing you with the unique advantage of aligning your compliance with the same analytical tools used to oversee your industry.
Simply asking a consumer to confirm
that they have understood something… is unlikely to be enough.
