Semantic Coherence: Nova Scotia Community College – Signal Evidence & AI Readability

Semantic Coherence — The Lens

Pull the main entities out of the H1, then check whether they actually recur through the body. A page that announces one thing and then talks about another drifts. Headings with no real sentences underneath read as pseudo-substance.

Semantic Coherence Homepage promise vs. Sub-page reality.

Significant drift occurs between the homepage promise of program exploration and the sub-page reality where the H1 Upcoming programs is met with a notification that Programs Search is currently unavailable. The homepage H1 and hero sections set an expectation for functional discovery that the sub-pages contradict with ‘no courses scheduled at this time’ messaging. This disconnect between the ‘Find a program’ signal and the broken delivery path is the primary source of drift.

Semantic Coherence is read from the heading hierarchy first: what each page announces in its H1 and headings, then whether the body actually delivers on it. Below is the structure the engine mapped, followed by the clean text to check for drift between promise and reality.
