Information Density: Hetrick-Martin Institute – Signal Evidence & AI Readability

Hetrick-Martin Institute

(https://hmi.org) 📸 Data Snapshot: May 27, 2026
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.
27 Impact Weight: 30 / 100

The information density is exceptionally high, with a heavy focus on specific nouns and logistical data over marketing adjectives. For example, the Youth Services page avoids generic ‘support’ claims and instead lists ‘Metro cards’, ‘NYS ID’, and ‘Safer sex kits’. The headings on the Youth Calendar are strictly functional, such as ‘HMI’s Kiki Lounge – Wednesdays’ and ‘Housing Drop-In Group with Areyah’. There is zero fluff saturation in the headings, and the body substance ratio is high due to the inclusion of specific operating hours and contact emails for individual departments.

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.

📝 The Narrative — clean text per page (the substance-vs-filler signal)

🧭 Industry Context — common generic-claim patterns in Unclear / Mixed / Unclassifiable Industry to weigh the text against
Generic Claims: trusted by leading companies, proven track record, the best in the industry, results that speak for themselves, your trusted partner, exceeding expectations…
Red Flags: no verifiable business identity or registration, claims expertise in unrelated fields simultaneously, stock photography throughout, no physical address or contact phone number, testimonials without full names or businesses, guaranteed outcomes for complex services…
Semantic Drift Patterns: homepage makes grand claims but sub-pages are thin on detail, positioning suggests specialist but services are generic, hero section is ambitious but content does not support it, multiple service areas with no depth in any single one, messaging changes tone and target audience across pages…
Proof Expectations: named clients or customers with verifiable identity, specific results with numbers, dates, and context, verifiable team credentials and professional backgrounds, third-party reviews on independent platforms, case studies with measurable outcomes, regulatory registrations relevant to claimed services…
