Something looks wrong? Tell us what looks wrong

Checks whether your text has the parts that are easy to quote: a short definition, headings written as questions, lists, figures and sentences that make sense on their own. For founders and marketers who want their copy to be quoted accurately by people and by AI answers.

How to use it

Paste a page or a section, with a blank line between paragraphs. Work through the findings from the top: the warnings change how quotable the text is the most.

  1. Paste your text, or load the example. Separate paragraphs with a blank line so headings and lists are recognised.
  2. Press Run check, or Ctrl/⌘ + Enter.
  3. Read the findings. Choose Show in text to select the passage a finding points at.
  4. Edit the text and run the check again. The highlights clear while you edit, so they never point at the wrong words.

How Reavlo tests this

The text is analysed in your browser. It is split on blank lines into headings (one short line that does not end like a sentence), lists (every line starts with a bullet or a number) and paragraphs, and paragraphs are split into sentences with the same English tokenizer as the readability checker.

The rubric. The checks are Reavlo's own published rubric, version 1.0.0. It is a set of editorial rules, not a measurement of any AI system, and no source claims that following it gets text cited. Each rule is listed below and shown with its identifier in the results.

  • Definition. At least one sentence of up to 30 words that says what something is, with is, are, means, refers to or stands for in its first words.
  • Long paragraph. A paragraph of more than 100 words is flagged.
  • Pronoun start. A sentence that starts with it, this, that, these, those, they, he, she or such is flagged, because it cannot be quoted without the sentence before it.
  • Question heading. At least one heading ends with a question mark.
  • List. At least one block of bulleted or numbered lines.
  • Figures. At least one sentence contains a digit.

Limits. English only. The rules look at the shape of the text, not at whether it is true, original or well written. A pronoun start and a definition are detected by pattern and can be wrong in both directions. The check cannot tell how any particular search or answer engine will quote your page.

Questions

Is my text uploaded?

No. The check runs in your browser and nothing you paste is sent to a server or stored. If Google Analytics is enabled on this site, it only records that the tool ran, never your text.

Does passing these checks get my page cited by AI answers?

No tool can promise that. The rubric describes text that is easy to quote accurately: it states what things are, answers questions directly and gives specific facts. Whether an answer engine uses a page depends on the engine and on much more than the wording.

Why does it ask for a blank line between paragraphs?

Blank lines are how the check tells a heading, a list and a paragraph apart. Text pasted with a single line break between paragraphs is read as one long paragraph.

Why are some findings only information?

A question heading, a list or a figure helps when the content calls for one, but not every page does. They are marked as information so you decide; the warnings are the ones that make text hard to quote.
