📊 Understanding Your Score & Grade

How the Score is Calculated

Your AI Readiness Score (0-100) uses advanced scoring with dynamic weights and confidence tracking:

  • Content Quality (30%): Clarity, structure, readability, and depth
  • Comprehensibility (25%): How well AI understands your messaging and structure
  • Extractability (20%): How easily AI can extract information from your HTML
  • Discoverability (15%): How easily AI crawlers can find and index your content
  • Trustworthiness (10%): Factual accuracy and hallucination prevention

Advanced Features: Weights automatically adjust based on data confidence. Scores use diminishing returns to prevent single issues from over-penalizing. Balance penalties apply if dimensions are uneven. ROI-based quick wins prioritize high-impact, low-effort fixes.
