Page Architecture

What the Page Architecture panel is

The Page Architecture panel appears in Phase 2 results when ContentGrapher determines that your page is serving more than one structural retrieval role at the same time. It shows a proposed URL structure: a set of focused pages, each assigned the concepts from your current page that belong to its role.

The panel appears only when a split is recommended. Pages that ContentGrapher determines are appropriately scoped to a single role do not show the panel.

How the split recommendation is generated

ContentGrapher identifies the dominant role of your page and then looks at the concept structure for concepts that belong to a different role. When the volume and structural weight of those concepts crosses a threshold, the analysis recommends separating them into a dedicated page.

The proposed structure assigns each existing concept to a target URL. Concepts classified as core or supportive for your page's current role remain there. Concepts that belong to a different role are grouped under a new proposed URL with a role label. The concept assignments are listed per proposed page so you can see exactly what moves where.

The proposed URL slugs are suggestions based on the detected topic and role. You are not bound to use them. The structural logic matters more than the specific names.

How to read the proposed structure

Each proposed page in the panel shows: the suggested URL slug, the structural role ContentGrapher assigned to it, and the list of concepts it would take from the current page.

Read the concept assignments before accepting the structure. If a concept appears on the wrong proposed page or you believe two proposed pages should stay merged, the classification driving that decision is in the boundary classifications for that concept. See Boundary Classifications to understand why a concept was moved.

The panel is a structural recommendation, not a publishing plan. Use it to decide whether the split is worth doing, and if so, which page to build first.

Acting on the recommendation

If you decide to split, build the new page as a focused page for its role and link from the original. Do not carry mixed-role content across: the purpose of the split is to give each structural role a page that can be fully optimized for it.

Analyze each new page separately after publishing. Each page gets its own concept graph, coverage score, and writing brief based on its specific role and content.

If you decide not to split, the recommendation does not affect your current writing brief. The brief is generated against the role ContentGrapher detected for this page as it exists. The trade-off is that a mixed-role page will continue to score against a single role, and concepts from the secondary role will appear as adjacent rather than core.
