The 7-Dimension Readability Audit
Plain Language
20 ptsReading grade level, sentence length, jargon detection, and simple word choices — based on Flesch-Kincaid and Hemingway standards
Clarity of Purpose
15 ptsDoes the intro clearly say what the product is, who it's for, what problem it solves, and why readers should care?
Scannability
15 ptsDescriptive headings, short paragraphs, bullet lists, visual breaks, and progressive disclosure — can readers find info fast?
Information Architecture
15 ptsLogical section flow (What → Why → How → Get Started), navigation aids, internal links, and clear next steps
Persuasion & Conviction
15 ptsBefore/after contrast, concrete examples, social proof, and competitive differentiation — will readers be convinced?
Developer Experience
10 ptsCode examples, API/function names introduced, and clear quick-start path — does the page speak to developers?
Cognitive Load
10 ptsConcept density, unexplained acronyms, and repetition — is the page overwhelming or digestible?
