## How it works

1. **Score your site** at [/score](/score) — 42 automated checks against the design contract, real-time, no login.
2. **If you score A or B** (≥80%), you qualify to embed the badge.
3. **Embed the SVG** on your site. The badge links to your live score so visitors can verify.
4. **The score is the proof.** The badge claims verification; the live score proves it. If your site drifts, the score updates — the badge stays honest.

## Grade scale

The score is the percentage of checks that pass (warnings count as half). 42 checks total — see the [contract](/contracts/design-system) for the full list.
