Can each section of your page stand on its own?
Sections are self-contained. When a section says "it also supports this" the reader of the page knows what "it" is.
What the check looks at
The check reads sections one at a time, without the rest of the page, and asks whether each names its subject and states its answer. Retrieval returns passages, not pages — a passage that depends on the paragraph above it loses its meaning when quoted alone.
Why it matters
When a section says "it also supports this" the reader of the page knows what "it" is. The engine that retrieved only that section does not. Self-contained sections get used; dependent ones are skipped or misread.
How to see it on your own site
Copy one section into an empty document and read it. If you cannot tell what it is about or what it claims, neither can a retriever.
How to fix it
- Name the subject in each section: "Reflexa's agent", not "it"; "the pricing page", not "this page".
- State the claim inside the section, not only in the heading above.
- Keep one idea per section with its own heading.
What the agent does: the agent rewrites a section to stand alone — subject named, claim stated — for your approval.

Questions people ask
How long should a section be?
As long as one idea needs. Retrievers chunk long pages; a section of two to six paragraphs with a clear heading survives chunking best.
