How does the ai answer-readiness scorer work?
Borrowed from Linguistics: Flesch reading ease plus answer-block checks
The score combines the Flesch reading ease formula from linguistics with four checks that match how answer engines pick passages. It is a guide for editing, and does not reproduce any engine's ranking.
Paste the answer that sits under a heading. Fix the failed checks, then test again.
Worked example
A 55-word answer with short sentences, one named figure and an answer in the first sentence passes all five checks and scores 100. A 120-word paragraph with long sentences usually fails length, ease and sentence checks.
How should I read my result?
Rewrite the passage. Start with the answer and cut it to 40 to 60 words.
Fix the failed checks below, usually sentence length or a missing figure.
The passage is ready. Add a named source for any statistic.

Questions about ai answer-readiness scorer
Does a high score guarantee AI citations?
No. The score measures how quotable a passage is. Citations also depend on your site's authority and on the engine.
Is my text stored?
No. The check runs in your browser and nothing is sent to a server.
Why 40 to 60 words?
It is long enough to answer fully and short enough for an engine to quote in one piece.
