Does a high score mean AI wrote it?

No. The score measures how the writing reads. Human drafts full of buzzwords can score high too.

Do I need a score of 0?

No. Aim for a low score that still sounds like you. Your unique voice is the most important element. Readable and specific matters more than a perfect number.

Understanding your Content Studio Score

What your Slop Score means in Content Studio, how channel settings change it, and how to lower it with 1-Click replacements, Auto-Polish All and banned words.

Your Slop Score runs from 0 to 100, and lower is better. A low score means your draft reads like a real person wrote it. A high score means it leans on formulaic AI buzzwords, filler and repetitive sentence patterns. The score updates as you edit.

Fynch Content Grader with a draft in the editor and the Overall Impact panel on the right showing a Slop Score of 5 out of 100 labeled Clean Human Voice, with Sentence Cadence at 80% Dynamic and Vocabulary Density at 68% Diverse beneath it. — The Overall Impact panel: a Slop Score of 5 out of 100, with Sentence Cadence and Vocabulary Density beneath it.

Where to find it

Select Grade in the left menu to open the Content Grader. Paste or write your draft in the editor, and your score appears in the Overall Impact panel on the right.

Pick your channel first

Choose where your content is going from the options at the top: SEO Blog, LinkedIn, Landing Page, Cold Outbound, Video Script or Academic. Each one is graded against what works for that channel, so a strong LinkedIn post and a strong blog article aren't held to the same standard.

What's behind your score

Measure	What it tells you
Slop Score	How much of your draft relies on AI buzzwords and clichés (lower is better)
Sentence Cadence	Whether your sentence lengths vary naturally. Repeating the same rhythm reads as robotic.
Vocabulary Density	How specific your word choices are, versus generic filler
Readability	The reading grade level, shown below the editor

How to lower your score

Fix highlighted words. Click a highlighted word or phrase to see 1-Click Authentic Replacements, then click one to swap it in.
Polish everything at once. Select Auto-Polish All to improve the whole draft in one step.
Add specifics. Real numbers, names, quotes and examples lower your score faster than rewording.
Ban your own words. Go beyond the standard words you never want to see, like synergy or leverage, by adding them under Custom Banned Words. Going forward, the grader will flag them.

When you're done

Copy: Paste your draft wherever it's going.
Save to Workspace: Keep it in your Documents.
Open in Document Editor: Keep working with the chat panel and teammates.
Run Audience Stress Test: See how different buyer types might react, and what objections they might raise.
