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.

There is a catastrophic disconnect between the homepage meta-signal of being a leading design school and the reality of the sub-pages, which are 404 error pages. The homepage promises access to Student Resources, a Program Finder, and Admission Events, but every one of these links leads to a dead end. The hero promise of joining the next generation of creative leaders is undermined by a site that cannot maintain its own internal navigation. This represents the maximum possible semantic drift: promising a pathway to an elite education and delivering a digital graveyard.

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.
