Would an AI answer engine quote this page?

Search is moving from ten blue links to answer engines — AI Overviews, ChatGPT, Perplexity — that extract and quote content instead of just linking it. This audits an article the way those engines read it: answer-first structure, self-contained definitions, question-shaped headings, quotable sentences, concrete specifics, and the structured data that maps questions to answers. It scores each dimension, shows the exact sentences a model would lift, recommends the schema to add, and gives prioritised fixes. Deterministic rules, not an LLM — so every score is inspectable. Paste your own article, or run it on the meta example.
