Material 3

Material 3 scores 59/F on the Designesy Compliance Index — 6 of 40 checks passed, 4 failed, 22 warned, 5 skipped. The cohort mean is 62.2/D across 30 scored sites. Material 3 sits 5% 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.

Since last week's score, Material 3 improved by 3.0 points — moving from 56 to 59.

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.

F-grade means Material 3 scores below 60 — the contract's pass threshold. The failing checks are not subjective: they are missing CSS primitives that the contract requires at :root.

This evaluation is deterministic — no LLM, no human judgment, no survey. The same 40-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.
