<p>This report delivers the first AI-driven audit of plain language compliance across 31 federal High Impact Service Provider (HISP) websites. Findings reveal an average score of 57.4, with 45% of agencies receiving failing grades due to excessive jargon, unclear structure, and poor actionability. A total of 795 jargon terms and 370 undefined acronyms were identified, creating barriers to public understanding. While a few agencies demonstrate strong performance, most fail to meet basic communication standards. The report highlights systemic issues and recommends recurring AI-powered audits to improve clarity, accessibility, and overall government service delivery.</p>
