Entity Clarity Index™

Entity Clarity Index™ is a proprietary Ivica Srncevic metric that measures how unambiguously a page communicates its primary, secondary, and contextual entities. It evaluates entity disambiguation, schema anchoring, lexical consistency, and co‑occurrence patterns to determine how reliably AI systems and search engines can identify what the page is about.

What the metric measures

1. Primary Entity Precision

How clearly the main entity is:

  • introduced
  • reinforced
  • referenced consistently
  • supported by schema
  • connected to expected attributes

2. Secondary Entity Disambiguation

Does the page avoid:

  • entity collisions
  • ambiguous references
  • overlapping meanings
  • missing qualifiers

This is critical for AI retrieval.

3. Lexical & Semantic Consistency

Does the content maintain:

  • consistent naming
  • consistent attributes
  • consistent relationships
  • consistent terminology

This reduces semantic drift.

4. Schema Anchoring Strength

How well structured data reinforces:

  • entity type
  • entity attributes
  • entity relationships
  • entity roles

This is where most sites fail.
