Tool: Answer Format Scorer

Evaluates how well your page is formatted for AI-generated answers. Assigns letter grades (A–F) across 5 dimensions.

What it does

When AI systems generate answers citing your content, they need clear, structured, scannable text. This tool scores how well your content is formatted for that purpose — not just for human readers, but for AI extraction.

Five scoring dimensions

DimensionWeightWhat it measures
Direct Answer25%Does the page provide a clear, concise answer near the top? AI systems favor pages that answer the question directly instead of burying the answer in long introductions.
Formatting20%Presence and quality of lists, tables, bold/emphasis, blockquotes. Well-formatted content is easier for AI systems to parse and cite.
Data Density15%Ratio of factual data (numbers, dates, statistics, proper nouns) to filler text. AI systems prefer information-dense content.
Readability20%Sentence length, paragraph length, and reading level. Clear, accessible writing is easier for AI to understand and reformulate.
Heading Structure20%Proper heading hierarchy (H1→H2→H3), descriptive headings that summarize sections, question-style headings that match search queries.

Letter grades

The weighted total produces a letter grade: A (90+), B (80–89), C (70–79), D (60–69), F (<60).
