Evaluation

Material 3 scores 67.6/D on the Designesy Compliance Index — 7 of 42 checks passed, 2 failed, 12 warned, 18 skipped. The cohort mean is 69.3/D across 30 scored sites. Material 3 sits 2% below the cohort mean.

Strongest category: Identity at 75.0%. Weakest scored category: Interaction at 0.0%. The gap between best and worst is the finding — most systems are strong in one dimension and absent in another.

The engine detected 158 custom properties at :root — a rich token layer. The question is whether those tokens are structured (primitive → semantic → component) or flat.

This evaluation is deterministic — no LLM, no human judgment, no survey. The same 42-check engine that scored Material 3 scores every site on the leaderboard. Re-score m3.material.io live to see if anything has changed since 2026-08-03.
