Does the engine fix this itself?

No. This one needs a decision a person has to make, so it is reported with the evidence rather than changed automatically.

Health, legal or financial content with no stated credentials

Why it matters

For topics that affect health or money, unqualified advice is both a ranking and a liability problem.

What to do about it

Attribute the content to a qualified reviewer and state the credential.

This one is reported rather than applied. It needs a judgement a person has to make, and applying it automatically would be a change to your site that nobody decided on.

How it is weighted

These are the values the scoring actually uses, not a description of them. Priority is derived from all three rather than chosen, which is why a high-impact, low-effort finding surfaces above a severe one that would take a quarter to fix.

Severity: high
Impact: 70% of the weight this category can carry
Effort: 40%, where 100% is a project rather than a change
Confidence: 80% that a hit is a real problem rather than a pattern we misread
Area: Compliance and risk
