A task like “look into onboarding” will sit on a board for weeks. It has no clear owner, no finish line, and no way to tell when it is done.

An actionable task names one owner, describes a result someone can check, and has a date. It also links back to the conversation where it began, so nobody has to ask what it meant.

Clarity writes tasks in this shape from the start, which keeps projects from drifting.
