Deck Subhead Length Guideline Checker
Audit actual deck text against caller word/codepoint budgets and exact headline duplication, not a universal editorial guideline, grapheme/display width, semantic redundancy or lower-third line fit.
Description
Deck copy can be checked against explicit word and character budgets.
Deck copy can be checked against explicit word and character budgets. Exact headline duplication differs from semantic repetition.1
Enter headline/deck, integer word limit1–1000 and code-point limit1–65536. Tokenize Unicode letter/number words with internal apostrophes; compare trimmed en-US lowercase text. Return counts, duplicate and joint gate.
When to use Deck Subhead Length Guideline Checker
Use Deck Subhead Length Guideline Checker when you need to evaluate the supplied records under the calculation and evidence rules below. Character counts are code points rather than graphemes/display width. Empty deck is not separately rejected; no universal guideline is supplied.
Prepare the actual editorial, source, layout, timing or audience records requested. Supply explicit house-policy limits and preserve missing evidence.
How to use Deck Subhead Length Guideline Checker and understand its results
- Prepare the actual editorial, source, layout, timing or audience records requested. Supply explicit house-policy limits and preserve missing evidence.
- Enter headline, deckText, callerMaximumDeckWords, callerMaximumDeckCharacters using the field table and calculation rules, then run the tool.
- Read deckWordCount, deckCodepointCount, duplicatesHeadlineExactly, withinCallerDeckLimits. The explanation below defines the units, signs, ordering and any flags or placeholder values.
- If the tool reports an input issue, correct the values and run it again. Apply the stated assumptions when interpreting a successfully returned result.
| Input field | Meaning | Value type; see rules below | Requirement |
|---|---|---|---|
| headline | Headline | string | Required |
| deckText | Deck text | string | Required |
| callerMaximumDeckWords | Caller maximum deck words | number | Required |
| callerMaximumDeckCharacters | Caller maximum deck characters | number | Required |
Enter headline/deck, integer word limit1–1000 and code-point limit1–65536. Tokenize Unicode letter/number words with internal apostrophes; compare trimmed en-US lowercase text. Return counts, duplicate and joint gate.
gate=wordCount≤limit AND codePoints≤limit AND not trimmed lowercase duplicate Units, indexing, boundary conditions and exceptional cases are defined in the calculation rules above.
| Output field | Meaning | Value type |
|---|---|---|
| deckWordCount | Deck word count | number |
| deckCodepointCount | Deck codepoint count | number |
| duplicatesHeadlineExactly | Duplicates headline exactly | boolean |
| withinCallerDeckLimits | Within caller deck limits | boolean |

}Limitations and assumptions
Character counts are code points rather than graphemes/display width. Empty deck is not separately rejected; no universal guideline is supplied.
Numeric inputs, where present, must be finite. Follow the calculation-specific rules for overflow, underflow and exceptional cases. Extremely large text inputs are rejected. Missing required fields, extra fields, wrong value types and violations of the calculation rules are input errors. A successfully returned false flag is an evaluated outcome; its meaning is explained above.
Alternative or Complementary methods
Use SEO Headline Front Load Keyword Position Checker: Front-loading checks the first complete keyword phrase in tokenized headline copy. Token matching avoids embedded substring matches. For a complementary task, use Cutline Caption Two Sentence Max Checker: Caption sentence counts need supplied segmentation to avoid guessing boundaries at abbreviations. Empty annotated segments are distinct issues.
