Pulse Overview
Pulse scores Confluence pages for Health and AI readiness, and it coaches the author while the page is open in the editor. Most content tools report bad pages after the fact. Pulse shows the one change worth the most points while the page is being written, when a fix takes a minute, and confirms it a few seconds later.
Every person also gets a short list of the pages that need them, with one reason and one action per page. Every number is counted for the person looking at it, over the pages that person can open.
