In science and engineering, it denotes measurement accuracy or data quality, such as o'lchovdagi aniqlik (accuracy of measurement) or ma'lumotlarning aniqligi (precision of information). In legal and administrative contexts, aniqlik is linked to explicitness and the avoidance of ambiguity, as in requirements for clarity in regulations or documentation.
