What this template answers
Each item below becomes a heading in the AI response.
- The plain version: what is the page's core claim in at most three sentences a curious 10-year-old could follow?
- Jargon audit: which terms carry meaning a plain word could not, and which are costume?
- The gaps: where does the page state a result or a cause without showing how or why, and is each gap fatal or just a shortcut?
- Your turn: which three questions should I be able to answer in my own words now, and does the page give me enough to answer each?
- Verdict: how much of the page is Understood, Described and Performed, and what would close the biggest gap?
