Citability

Citability is how easily an answer engine can extract, understand in isolation, and quote a passage. It’s scored 0–100 across five dimensions — answer-block quality, self-containment, structural readability, statistical density, and uniqueness — with a page’s score taken as the average of its best five blocks. 70 or above is “citation-ready”; 30 or below is “citation-unlikely.”
