Where Rubric comes up on this site
- Free AI visibility checkers: what the free tier actually measuresA documentation site and a plumber's five-page site are scored against the same rubric, so the plumber loses points for lacking things no plumber needs, and the score becomes a measure of how closely the site resembles the rubric's author's assumptions.
- How to read a CrawlCheck report: the grade, the three stages, the fix list and the evidenceA finding code means the same thing before and after a change to our rubric, so those comparisons are always shown; a score delta across rubric versions is not, because the number moved because we changed.
- We reviewed all 150 scored rows against seven site types. Here is what we unscored, and why.How the score version moves Every change above moves numbers, so the scoring rubric got a new version, and every stored record says which version graded it.
