Semantic Coherence — The Lens

Pull the main entities out of the H1, then check whether they actually recur through the body. A page that announces one thing and then talks about another drifts. Headings with no real sentences underneath read as pseudo-substance.

There is a noticeable disconnect between the ambitious navigation headers (Conditions & Treatments, Centers & Departments) and the actual delivered content on those pages, which returned as nearly empty skeletons or filter results. While the homepage promises a vast network of physicians and leaders, the sub-pages for ‘Browse Centers and Departments’ contain 0 characters of descriptive text in the crawl. This creates a technical drift where the promise of a ‘vast network’ is not immediately supported by content-rich sub-pages.

Semantic Coherence is read from the heading hierarchy first: what each page announces in its H1 and headings, then whether the body actually delivers on it. Below is the structure the engine mapped, followed by the clean text to check for drift between promise and reality.
