Choose ClearPoint if

  • You are a city, county, hospital, university or utility with heavy reporting needs.
  • You need briefing books and board reports more than day-to-day execution.
  • Support matters a lot. It is ClearPoint's most praised strength on G2.
  • You want AI that explains variances on your measures.

Choose stratbox if

  • You are a private mid-market company and a 4 month setup is too long.
  • You need the procedures behind each goal written and followed, not just reported.
  • You want a short recurring assessment per procedure, answered by a named owner.

Use both if

  • ClearPoint produces your board and council reports, and that is staying.
  • You also need the procedures behind those goals written, owned and checked.
  • You are fine running them side by side. We do not integrate with ClearPoint today.

What ClearPoint does well

ClearPoint is excellent at strategy reporting and is loved for its support. It also publishes useful research from its platform data. One example we use ourselves: initiatives with a named owner were completed 2.5 times as often as unowned ones (21.5% vs 8.7%, across 90,305 initiatives). Reviewers mention a long setup and limited report customization.

How stratbox is different

ClearPoint is how you report on the plan. stratbox is how you make sure the plan's procedures are followed, every week, by a named owner. ClearPoint's own data shows ownership matters; stratbox is built around it.

What stratbox is not

  • Not a public-sector reporting or briefing book tool.
  • Not a deep measures and scorecard platform.
