AI Objective Quality Check

The AI evaluates every objective on five specific dimensions, each scored from 1 to 10: Clarity (is the intent immediately obvious?), Specificity (does it describe a concrete outcome?), Strategic Alignment (does it connect to broader organizational goals?), Inspiration Level (would a team rally behind this?), and Business Focus (does it describe a business outcome, not a task?). The scores help you understand exactly where your objective is weak.

Axiean's AI is trained to flag specific structural violations that break OKR methodology. Forbidden patterns include: percentages or numbers in the objective title (those belong in Key Results), timeframes like 'by Q3' or 'within 12 months', execution methods like 'through continuous development' or 'by building X', KPI definitions or growth metrics embedded in the objective, and multi-part compound sentences that combine strategy with metrics.

The rewriting process follows a strict three-step methodology: (1) Extract the pure strategic intent from the original — what outcome is the user actually trying to achieve? (2) Strip all metrics, execution language, timeframes, and KPI definitions. (3) Output a clean, qualitative objective that is short, human-readable, and inspirational. The AI explicitly documents why the rewrite is strategically superior to the original.

Yes. You can run the Quality Check on any existing objective in your OKR dashboard — it's not limited to new objectives. This is particularly useful during quarterly reviews when you want to audit and tighten up your existing goal framework before sharing it with the broader team.

Yes. The backend fetches your organization's existing objectives and feeds them to the AI as 'strategic alignment context.' This means the AI evaluates not just whether the objective is well-written, but whether it strategically fits within your broader goal hierarchy — flagging potential overlaps or misalignments.

The AI OKR Generator creates new objectives from scratch based on a raw intent. The Quality Check evaluates and improves objectives that already exist or were manually written. Think of the Generator as your 'architect' and the Quality Check as your 'building inspector.' Many teams use them together — generate with AI, then audit with Quality Check before finalizing.

No. The AI provides the rewritten objective as a suggestion alongside the original, with a detailed analysis and the reasoning for the change. You choose whether to accept the rewrite, modify it further, or keep the original. The rewrite is only applied when you explicitly confirm it.
