About
A content score tells you nothing.
Topic Drift Checker exists to answer the question a score never does: which paragraph is pulling this article off topic, why, and what should change.
The problem
Most content tools hand you a number. You are told a draft scores 68, and then you are on your own — the number does not say which of your nine sections earned it, whether the weak part is the intro or a tangent halfway down, or what to actually edit. So the number gets gamed: keywords get sprinkled until it goes up, and the article gets worse.
The useful unit of analysis is not the document. It is the section.
What we do instead
You give Topic Drift Checker one target query and one draft. It compares every section against that query and returns a Topic Drift Map — each section marked Strong, Mixed, Drift, or Unknown, with the evidence that produced the verdict and a prioritized list of what to fix first.
The result is something you can act on in the editor: this section wandered into industry history when the query wants a buying decision; cut it or tie it back.
What we believe
- —Evidence before recommendations. Every verdict shows its working. If you disagree with the diagnosis you can see exactly what it was based on.
- —Unknown is an honest answer. When a signal is not available, the report says so instead of inventing a confident number. A fabricated coverage percentage is worse than no percentage.
- —No ranking promises. Nobody can sell you a position in search results. We diagnose the draft in front of you and stop there.
- —You should not pay for a broken result. An analysis costs 1 credit; if it fails, the credit comes back automatically.
Where the product is today
Topic Drift Checker is an early, working product rather than a finished one. Analysis currently runs on a deterministic local baseline: the same draft and query always produce the same report, and your content is not sent to a third-party model. Live search-results comparison is not wired up yet, which is why SERP coverage reports as Unknown rather than as an estimate.
The scope is deliberately narrow while we learn: English drafts, one target query at a time.
