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 for the creative industry. While the H1 ‘A legacy of innovative and iconic storytelling’ utilizes power words, it is immediately supported by H2 headings containing hard numbers: ’50 Years | 500+ Film and TV credits | 135+ Awards.’ The body text provides technical specificity, mentioning proprietary tools like ‘StageCraft’ and industry-standard protocols such as ‘Alembic’ and ‘Open VDB.’ Fluff is minimal, limited to short transitions like ‘Storytelling is our calling,’ which are dwarfed by specific nouns and project names.
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.
