Frequently asked
What makes content easy for AI to cite?
A direct answer in the first 40–60 words, sentences that stand alone out of context, concrete numbers and named sources, headings that mirror real questions, and passages of 100–300 words that each cover one idea. Those are the checks this tool runs.
Is this the same as a readability score?
Readability is one input. Citation readiness also measures specificity (numbers, entities), structure (question headings, chunk length) and whether the answer comes first, which readability scores ignore.
Does it send my draft anywhere?
No. The analysis is deterministic and runs in your browser. Nothing is stored or sent.
