Frequently asked questions
What does the Tooltip Necessity Checker produce?
It uses information to explain, target-user familiarity (%), how often users encounter it (%), inline explanation feasibility (%), decision criticality (0–100) to produce an input-linked UX output, evidence signal, and next action.
