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.

Power-words vs. Substance ratio.

The information density is exceptionally high, particularly on the Government Agency Directory page which contains nearly 15,000 characters of functional data. Headings like [H3] 8,115,100+ (population) and [H3] 41% (public land) use specific numbers to anchor claims. Body substance is dominated by actionable service links and technical details, such as the Working Families Tax Credit amount of $1,330 and specific drought declaration details. The only minor fluff detected is the repetitive messaging regarding the transition from SAW to WA.gov accounts.
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.
