Commodity Fingerprint — The Lens

Look at how much sentence length varies. Natural writing varies its rhythm; templated or mass-produced copy is statistically uniform. Very low variation reads as commodity content — unless unique named entities break the pattern.

Commodity Fingerprint Detection of industry clichés/templates.

The site avoids most commodity traps by virtue of being an OEM with a unique product (the Air Crane). Clichés such as transforming experience into expertise are present but are secondary to unique value propositions like the PbE program or 4,000 modifications made to the S-64 platform. The template fingerprints for Aviation Services and Company are standard for the industry and do not detract from the specialized content.

Commodity Fingerprint is read from the page structure first: templated copy tends to repeat the same heading patterns and shapes seen across an industry. Below is the heading hierarchy captured, then the known cliché patterns for this industry to weigh it against.

Composite Main Rotor Blade Program – Erickson Inc. | OEM and MRO Services

Meta

Several years ago Erickson was faced with a dire situation for its flagship platform, the S-64: Create more main rotor blades or eventually ground the entire S-64 fleet. Over time these blades wore out due to the high-demand for flight hours of the uniquely-capable heavy lifting S-64. Then came the eventual retirement of the old blades — and the opportunity to engineer a new product that would enhance the S-64 legacy fleet.
