Information Density — The Lens

Classify each sentence as substantive or hollow. Grounding markers — numbers, currencies, dates, technical units, named entities — outweigh marketing adjectives. When fluff sits right next to hard evidence, the fluff is forgiven.

The information density is relatively high for the industry, featuring specific monetary figures like up to £300 off boilers and a £140m support fund. However, H1 and H2 headings contain significant fluff such as Energy prices that can only go down and We’re here to keep things warm and working. The body text balances this with technical specifics like 6.75p/kWh for EV charging and 3.3 miles per kWh efficiency ratings. Specificity is maintained through the mention of over 200 years of history and a customer base of 9 million.

Information Density is read straight from the body copy: how much of the text carries grounded, checkable substance versus hollow filler. Below is the clean text the engine analyzed, then the industry’s known generic-claim patterns to weigh it against.
