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. Media Accessibility and Question Coverage & FAQ Presence 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, E-E-A-T Signals and Question Coverage & FAQ Presence 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 Online Learning / Course Platform diverges from everyone else
Relative to the whole corpus, this industry is distinctively weak on Unique Value Proposition (+3 points), Answer Box Potential (+3 points), Raw HTML Availability (+3 points).
It is distinctively strong on Content Freshness (-15 points), AI Discoverability (-10 points), Structured Data Quality (-9 points).
Unique Value Proposition: fails on 97% of the 228 Online Learning / Course Platform audits it was measured on
Unique-wording signals test near null; the real phenomenon is competitive redundancy, which a single-page crawl cannot measure deterministically. Weight halved accordingly.
Answer Box Potential: fails on 71% of the 228 Online Learning / Course Platform 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.
Raw HTML Availability: fails on 27% of the 228 Online Learning / Course Platform audits it was measured on
No major AI crawler executes JavaScript, so content that only appears after scripts run is invisible to AI search. This is among the best-evidenced technical findings in the audit.

How to read this
- What the sample is. The 228 domains we have audited and classified as Online Learning / Course Platform. That is a sample of the industry, not a census: it is the set of sites our crawler has reached and scored, and it carries whatever bias that selection has.
- Rubric version 2026-08-13. Every figure here comes from audits scored on this single rubric generation. Scores from different generations measure different things, so they are never mixed. Compatible generations: 2026-08-13.
- Why there are no company names. These are aggregates. We do not publish which domains sit at the bottom of a distribution, and the queries behind this page cannot return a domain name.
- Publishing floor. We publish an industry only once it reaches 100 audited domains, and a factor's failure rate only once 30 audits in the industry count toward that factor. Below either floor the number would move with a handful of sites, so we withhold it.
- What the audit can and cannot see. This audit measures citation readiness: how easily AI engines can crawl, extract, and quote these pages. It cannot see the off-site brand footprint (mentions, reviews, third-party coverage) that gates whether AI engines retrieve a brand at all; Kuroma's visibility scans and off-site signals track that side.
