Questions about this rule

Does AEO_HEADING_COUNT affect my score?

Yes. It is an importance 3 rule at RESEARCH confidence, so a failure costs 3 × 0.7 points of impact in the Answer Engine category before that category is normalised to 100.

What does RESEARCH confidence mean?

Backed by large-sample study or industry research, not a specification. Confidence is a declared tier rather than a per-rule number, so every rule backed by the same class of evidence carries the same weight - which is what makes the score reproducible instead of hand-tuned.
