Confidence in customer understanding comes from a joined-up approach
Customer understanding is not a single check or score. It has two parts.
First, does the customer understand how you have described a concept?
Second, do they understand the underlying concept itself?
Both matter.
At CUE, we assess and evidence both sides of understanding. Each addresses a different source of risk. Together, they provide a complete picture. This gives you confidence that customers can make informed decisions, and that it can be demonstrated under regulatory scrutiny.
Understanding the explanation
Our Client Literature Review focuses on whether your communications support understanding.
We assess:
How clearly information is structured and presented
Whether language, numeracy, and cognitive load are appropriate
Where customers might struggle with how information is described
This ensures customer-facing content is designed for its intended audience.
Our Product Understanding Review focuses on whether customers grasp the core ideas they need to make decisions.
Understanding the concept
We assess:
What customers must understand to engage with a product or service
Where complexity, risk, or trade-offs exists
How understanding varies across target market segments
This is essential where misunderstanding could lead to poor outcomes.
Confidence comes from addressing both
Clear language does not guarantee understanding.
Understanding a concept does not mean it has been explained well.
Our services are designed to work independently or together, depending on your needs and priorities.
