pAS — Page Authority Score
A per-URL scan that runs all 36 AS Datapoints against a single page rather than averaging across a domain. Unlike a full AS run, pAS gives a granular score for any specific URL. Used in two contexts: drilling into a specific page after a full AS run to understand where the score is coming from, and checking candidate pages before publishing. pAS never writes to AS tables — it is diagnostic only and has no effect on the domain’s headline AS score.
