Definition
Partial question coverage means the page mentions the topic but does not answer it directly. The topic is present, yet a reader still cannot take a direct answer from that page.
Short answer
Partial means the page mentions the topic but does not answer it directly. The question is neither fully answered nor completely uncovered, because the mention stops short of a direct answer.
What to check
- The topic is mentioned
- No direct answer is given
- It is not fully answered
- It is not fully uncovered
What this does not claim
A partial mark does not guarantee that expanding the mention will earn a citation. Mika does not guarantee search rankings or AI answer citations if a partial page later receives a direct answer.
A practical example
A product page that names low-rise work but never states suitability, constraints, or a specification link has partial coverage of that question. The topic appears on the page, but the page does not answer it directly.
