Clearly, one goal is to be understood by your listener(s). I think that everything else can be converted into ’will the listener(s) understand the same thing(s) (including degree of precision) that I mean, which provides a single quantity which can be maximized, even if it is nontrivial to measure.
Which leads me to realize that saying more than one thing at once is more of an art form than a communication method. I’m fine with communicating and arting at the same time, especially when they interfere constructively.
Or, when sharing a concept which is not precise, sometimes the right level of understanding in the listener(s) is a vague idea. Especially when collaborating on an idea which is in the process of forming.
