BRAG stands for Based-Retrieval-Auditable-Grading. It ties every audit finding to a real, traceable element on your page , a specific heading, schema block, meta tag, or content section , each carrying a unique evidence ID. You can open the element, verify the finding, and recheck it after a fix. No black boxes.

Is the free tier genuinely useful, or just a teaser?

The Observer (free) plan gives you a full composite CITE LEDGER score and all seven dimension letter grades , so you can see exactly where you stand and which categories are hurting you. BRAG evidence IDs and prioritized fix packs require a paid plan. Three audits per month, no credit card.
