Core Capabilities
1. Basic Metrics
Word Count

2. Complexity Analysis
Sentence Structure
- Average sentence length
- Sentence length variance
- Simple vs complex sentences
Vocabulary

- Syllable count estimates
3. Readability Scores
Flesch Reading Ease
- 0-100 scale
- Higher = easier to read
Grade Level Estimate
- US grade level equivalent
- Based on sentence/word complexity
