What is the rule check on a draft?

Every draft is checked the moment it is written, and the Rule check card shows the result.

What it checks

• Phrasing. Words and constructions the platform rules ban: filler openers, hype, hedging, clichés, and anything on your site's avoid list.
• Structure. The headings the brief asked for, a single H1, no empty sections, lists where the brief wanted lists.
• Length. Against the brief's range or the length you chose.
• Not the markers. Image notes in brackets and the spots that wait for your own numbers are skipped, so a slug or a marker never counts as a violation. A trade's own term is allowed where the same word would be banned as filler: sensor alignment and wheel alignment pass, "alignment with your values" does not.
• Links. That internal links point at pages that exist on your site.

What happens on a failure

A clean-up pass fixes phrasing and structure without changing facts, order or length, then the check runs again. What is left is shown to you with the line it concerns. Some items need a person: a number only you can supply, a claim you would rather not make.

What it does not do

It does not check facts against the world, and it does not judge whether the page is good. The evidence panel is for the first; reading the draft is for the second.
