Its worth one move i think.
4♣ natural and forcing.

True but I know Standard American and what better reason could I have for playing Precision? - Hideous Hog

What is 3NT. A jump to 2NT is the big balanced hand not right for 2NT or 2♣ opening followed by some number of NT. So a jump to 3NT is usually a running suit (the one opened) and stoppers in the other suits. Here, partner can not have a "running" club suit, unless he thinks AKJ9xxx is a running suit. I guess I would bid again, but I wonder what the agreement is here for 3NT.

My usual agreement is a hand too good for 3♣ but not necessarily a running suit.

Depends a bit on who partner is; I know some people who like to bid 3NT with 19 hcp balanced even though 2NT rebid should show that hand. Assuming partner isn't one of this sort, the 3NT bid should show a semi-balanced hand or short diamonds hand with 6-7♣ and max values. Opposite such a hand, we have a huge club fit and it must be worth at least another try at slam. Partner might have say ♠AQx ♥AJx ♦x ♣AKJxxx.

4c
natural and forcing but not only that but at least one
decent reason to fear 3n. P felt the general limit of the
hand would be 3n based on your passed hand status
(and they dont go looking for miracles thats what your
bidding is for). This hand has just enough power to
consider not just 4n but 5c and even 6c but it takes
a decent follow up system.
IMO p bids 4n to show adequate stoppers in the majors
and no slam interest. The down side is if they don't have
great major stoppers they will have to use the bidding
to show that somehow and give the opps some insider
trading information they don't deserve. If p weak major
is hearts we don't care much since we have 5c and even
6c as possible contracts. If their weak suit is spades ickkk
we have just given the opps a great chance to x for a lead
that might be the most damaging.
good luck
