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 information density is exceptionally high, with a near-zero ratio of marketing fluff. Headings like ‘Spider-Man: Brand New Day’s Body-Hopping Villain Could Be One of These Marvel Characters’ and ‘To the Stars, Through Hardship: Strange New Worlds and Uncovering Past Trauma’ contain specific nouns, entities, and thematic depth rather than power-word filler. The body text is composed of actual journalism and creative fiction with named authors (e.g., Lish McBride, Matthew Byrd) and specific dates (June 18, 2026). Repetition is limited to functional template elements like newsletter signups.
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.
