Citability
Citability is whether a passage is specific enough for an assistant to quote as a direct answer. Answer Readiness scores that on the free homepage scan. The $19 Fix Report adds rewrite drafts on six dimensions: direct answer, data density, authority, structure, freshness, and uniqueness. Vague marketing copy scores poorly. A one-sentence answer with concrete facts scores better. The report does not promise a citation.
