Strongest category: Poise at 100.0%. Weakest scored category: Accessibility at 50.0%. The gap between best and worst is the finding — most systems are strong in one dimension and absent in another.
The engine detected 714 custom properties at :root — a rich token layer. The question is whether those tokens are structured (primitive → semantic → component) or flat.
