Which factors this industry fails most often

The rubric scores 19 factors. A factor counts as failed here when a site scores below 50 out of 100 on it. The last column is how many audits each rate was calculated from. Question Coverage & FAQ Presence and Media Accessibility are not scored on every kind of page: a rankings table or a paginated index has no question to answer and no image to caption. Citation-Worthiness, Question Coverage & FAQ Presence and E-E-A-T Signals lean on English-language patterns, so on a page written in another language they are scored out of a smaller total. Those rows therefore leave out every audit of a page the factor was not scored on the same scale, and every audit that did not record enough about the page for us to tell. Every other row counts every audit in this industry that scored the factor.

Where Energy / CleanTech diverges from everyone else

Relative to the whole corpus, this industry is distinctively weak on Question Coverage & FAQ Presence (+9 points), Answer Box Potential (+9 points), Schema Markup Completeness (+8 points).

It is distinctively strong on Content Freshness (-11 points), Heading Hierarchy (-4 points), Unique Value Proposition (-1 points).

Question Coverage & FAQ Presence: fails on 94% of the 71 Energy / CleanTech audits it was measured on

Covering the sub-questions users actually ask is the single strongest diagnosed lever: contextual gaps and intent divergence explain most zero-citation failures. FAQ formatting by itself is not the lever; answering the questions is.

Answer Box Potential: fails on 77% of the 350 Energy / CleanTech audits it was measured on

The real mechanism is passage self-containment: heading-scoped sections that stand alone match retrieval chunking, and fixing context-severed passages measurably cuts retrieval failures.

Schema Markup Completeness: fails on 71% of the 350 Energy / CleanTech audits it was measured on

Controlled tests show no AI-citation lift from schema.org markup, and Google states no special structured data is needed for AI features. Near-zero weight is kept only for classic rich results and Bing grounding.
