Content Coverage
How completely a piece addresses the important aspects and sub-questions of its subject.
Analogy Mental model
A health check. Blood work alone is not a check-up; you need the heart, the scan and the urine test before anyone says the word thorough.
In practice What you actually do
Collect the questions people ask about the subject, from tools and from communities, then mark which ones the page answers. Eighty percent of the real questions is a reasonable target; a hundred percent is usually padding.
Where people get burned Pitfalls
Coverage is not completeness for its own sake. Separate the sub-topics a reader needs in order to act from the ones they might idly wonder about. The first must be there, the second can be one sentence.
