Ensure Summarizer answers the question asked in an articles headline

I was sent this article What Is the 2025 Federal Poverty Level (FPL)? and there's a lot of non-answer in there I didn't want to read. I thought, aha, Kagi Summarizer will give me the answer! I right-click and hit summarize page, but sadly I did not find the answer in the "Key Moments" output of the summarizer:

The federal poverty level (FPL) is crucial for determining eligibility for government benefits and safety net programs.

Benefits are often based on a sliding scale related to the FPL, with full benefits available for those earning 100% of the poverty level or less.

Most programs cap eligibility at 400% of the FPL, affecting access to tax relief and health insurance premiums.

The term "income" in this context refers to modified adjusted gross income, which is similar to adjusted gross income but not directly listed on tax returns.

Household size is typically defined by the number of individuals reported on a single tax form, influencing eligibility calculations.

The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) publishes the FPL, adjusting it annually based on inflation and household size.

Different poverty levels exist for Alaska and Hawaii due to their higher living costs, with specific adjustments for households exceeding eight members.

The FPL does not account for regional cost-of-living disparities, which can significantly affect the financial stability of families in different areas.

The FPL serves as a general guide for personal finance decisions, recognizing that living costs vary widely within states.

Nor is it in the "Summary" output:

The 2025 Federal Poverty Level (FPL) is crucial for determining eligibility for various government benefits and safety net programs. It influences premiums on health insurance exchanges and tax relief, with households evaluated on a sliding income scale against the FPL. Typically, households earning at or below 100% of the FPL receive full benefits, while those at 300% may receive reduced assistance, with eligibility often capped at 400%. The FPL is calculated by the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) based on household size and adjusts annually for inflation. Specific poverty levels are established for Alaska and Hawaii due to their unique living costs, which differ significantly from those in the contiguous U.S. The document highlights that living costs can vary widely even within states, complicating the application of the FPL. For example, urban residents may face higher expenses compared to their rural counterparts, even if their incomes are relative to the same percentage of the FPL. Consequently, while the FPL serves as a guideline, individuals should consider local living costs when making financial decisions. The information emphasizes the limitations of the FPL as a measure of economic hardship.

Indeed, I am still looking for the answer!

It would be great if the summarizer could prioritize including the answer to the headlines question, if the headline is in fact a question.

I'll note that when I copy pasted the headline into Kagi Search, Quick Answer gave me the actual answer immediately.

I have made changes to have the summarizer answer the question to the title. However, I want to point out that it will still be a high level summary. For example, with the linked article:

"The 2025 Federal Poverty Level (FPL) is a crucial metric for determining eligibility for various government benefits and programs. It is established by the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) and varies by household size, with specific income thresholds set for different states, including Alaska and Hawaii due to their unique living costs. For instance, in the lower 48 states, a household of one is considered at the poverty level if earning $15,060, while for a household of four, the threshold is $31, The FPL..."

If you want specific numbers for each number of household members, discussdoc or assistant would be better tools to use.
