Is this a headline or bullet point? If so, it appears possible to use a verb structure such as "clearly defining placement quality" although "clear definition of..." wouldn't strike me as odd.

if this makes sense...do you have more context?
Your sentence should be: \"Clear elaboration of the placement quality / positioning quality\".
Yes, taking a second look, the German word should be written in capital: Herausarbeiten (Platzierungsqualitaet as well). This makes it a noun --> elaboration

: It's not an absolute requirement to use a noun here. In quite many a case, En prefers verb structures where you'd find a noun in the German version.
