Overview
The Purpose Clarity evaluator assesses how clearly a text communicates its central purpose – whether it is to inform, persuade, explain, describe, or entertain. The evaluator analyzes whether a text’s intent is explicitly stated, indirectly hinted at, or masked (e.g., text may present as neutral information, but be building a persuasive argument).At a glance

Interpreting results
High or low complexity scores are not inherently good or bad. A higher complexity score simply indicates a text that requires more interpretation by readers.Example: A “Very complex” or “Exceedingly complex” text may be ideal if
the instructional goal is identifying implicit or persuasive intent. However,
that same text may not be a good fit if the instructional goal is content
comprehension.
