Concision is a word, but most people use the term brevity.
Showerthoughts
A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- Posts must be original/unique
- Be good to others - no bigotry - including racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, or xenophobia
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct
Concision is a regular and unexceptional word, but I think brevity has a slightly different connotation: “concision” implies that you’ve carefully phrased things to convey the most information in the fewest words, while “brevity” can imply that you’ve just left stuff out.

Concision seems like it should be a word for that which is made concise rather than the brevity itself. An incision is the cut made by incising.
Incision can also be the practice of incising, but we don't need that word very much.
Concision is the right word, if speaking with a highly educated audience; if speaking with a less educated audience, perhaps “succinctness” or “efficient clarity” would be better understood, even if not conveying all of the connotations of concision.
“Conciseness” is a real word.
Concisiveness
That's a conflation of concise and divisive.
Ah I knew it wasn't a real word but not why it felt right, that's it right there. Neato
Name your kid Concise

I'm no expert, but didn't you just use it as a noun in the post title?
