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.

Boilerplate language is minimal but present in the meta-descriptions and headers, utilizing generic_claims like ‘trusted news source’ and ‘breaking news videos.’ The value proposition of the NBC Select wing is highly commodified, using industry clichés such as ‘best fitness, sleep and oral care products’ which could be swapped with any competitor. However, the unique investigative reporting on David Rush and the 250th-anniversary event planning distinguishes the site from generic news aggregators.

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.
