Information Density: Zicam – Signal Evidence & AI Readability

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 diluted by extreme repetition of the phrase ‘shorten a cold when taken at the first sign,’ which appears as the primary value prop for nearly every product listing. While the body text contains specific product forms like ‘Quick-dissolve tablets’ and ‘No-drip nasal spray,’ it lacks technical protocols or clinical data. The homepage H4 ‘satisfaction guaranteed’ is a classic power-word fluff heading without a supporting noun or metric. The ratio of generic marketing claims to measurable technical outcomes is heavily skewed toward marketing.

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.
