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.

Info Density Power-words vs. Substance ratio.

The site exhibits a high concentration of lifestyle-branded fluff, particularly in headings like ‘the many paths to calm cool collected’ and ‘why we made Recess.’ However, this is balanced by surprisingly high substance in the product descriptions, which cite specific ingredients (L‑theanine, guayusa, lemon balm) and nutritional data (30 calories, 4g sugar, 10mg caffeine). The primary BS driver here is the repetition of the ‘calm cool collected’ mantra, which appears as a H1, H2, or body text on every single page analyzed without adding new informational value.

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.
