Size a page to outdo competitor word counts with a quality uplift.
Taking the average word count of ranking pages and scaling it by a quality boost yields a suggested target, with a minimum fraction as a floor. Length is a means, not the goal, so depth should win over padding. Matching or modestly exceeding top results signals completeness to search engines, but only when the extra words add real value rather than filler.
