The Radar Scan is the Holistic Radar Scanner audit: a free semantic SEO diagnostic that reads all six layers of the Six-Layer Pyramid at once. The page explains what the Radar Scan is, what it delivers, its five evidence sets, and the Holistic Authority Score it produces, then covers how the scan runs and the four score bands, before the request form and the questions clients ask.
What the Radar Scan is
The Radar Scan is a six-layer diagnostic that names the one constraint capping a site’s organic and AI search growth.
Most audits return a list. A list of 200 findings ranked by crawler severity does not tell a team what to do on Monday. The Radar Scan returns a verdict: one binding constraint, the evidence behind it, and the sequence that removes it.
What the Radar Scan delivers
The Radar Scan delivers five things: the Holistic Authority Score, the binding constraint, the three highest-leverage fixes, a layer-by-layer finding set, and a remediation sequence.
The five evidence sets in the Radar Scan
The Radar Scan reads five evidence sets: coverage, extraction, network, information gain, and history.
| Evidence set | What it shows |
|---|---|
| Coverage | How many tuples of the subject the site covers |
| Extraction | Whether pages state their facts in liftable form |
| Network | Orphans, click depth, near-duplicates, and bridge presence |
| Information gain | Facts the site holds that the index does not |
| History | How long the site has held its coverage |
Symptoms are separated from causes with five precedence rules, and conflicting findings are resolved before the verdict is written. The audit logic is set out in how to run a semantic SEO audit.
The Holistic Authority Score in the Radar Scan
The Holistic Authority Score is an integer from 0 to 100 built from five components: tuple coverage 30, extraction integrity 20, network integrity 20, information gain density 15, and historical depth 15.
The score is computed against the site’s own tuple inventory, so its lowest component points directly at the next work. The calculation is shown in full in the Holistic Authority Score.
How the Radar Scan runs
The Radar Scan runs in five business days from the request, with no contract and no card.
- You submit the site and answer a short questionnaire.
- The scanner reads all six layers and scores the five components.
- A strategist writes the verdict and the three fixes.
- A senior Holistic Radar strategist reviews the finding before it is sent.
- We walk you through it, with no obligation to continue.
Radar Scan score bands
The Radar Scan reports the Holistic Authority Score in four bands, so a single number translates into a stage of development.
The bands run from a site with no measurable topical authority, through partial and established coverage, to a site that holds its subject. The band sets the scale of the next phase more than the exact score does, and the band definitions are published in the Holistic Authority Score.

Radar Scan questions
What happens after the Radar Scan?
After the Radar Scan we walk through the findings, explain the binding constraint, and outline the next actions; there is no obligation to continue.
Can a site without a topical map be scanned?
A site without a topical map can be scanned; the scan builds a working tuple inventory for the subject so coverage can be measured.
Who reviews the Radar Scan?
Every Radar Scan is written by a Holistic Radar strategist and reviewed by a second senior strategist before it is sent.
Is the Radar Scan really free?
The Radar Scan is free, needs no contract or card, and has no obligation to continue.
