Why can we not use the terminology...."Standard Brief" and verbally note any differences just so the other guy knows what to expect and look for while you are wiggling the sticks. No deviation....Two Words gets the job done. Landing Briefs in IMC/IFR do need to be a bit more specific....but still pretty limited.
Why not go to a "Silent Checklist" and a simple Thumbs Up or terse...."Checks Good!" unless there are deviations?
That is what we do SAS (at least where I am now). There are a limited number of short checks that require C/R, but not the majority. Improvements can certainly be made but it's steadily getting better.
An unfortunate consequence of "standard" is that a TRE can make an error, or develop a bad habit (it happens), and insidiously it will become the 'standard'. As discussed earlier, getting the trainers to look at each other regularly helps to alleviate this particular risk.
