Chunk Extractability is how easily an AI engine can lift a self-contained passage from a page and reuse it as a standalone answer. Passages that make sense without surrounding context are far more likely to be cited.

It improves when content is written in focused paragraphs of roughly 40-60 words, each answering one question, with descriptive headings, lists, and explicit definitions rather than long, winding prose.

Key points
