Evaluation

Stripe scores 61.099999999999994/D on the Designesy Compliance Index — 18 of 40 checks passed, 3 failed, 14 warned, 2 skipped. The cohort mean is 62.2/D across 30 scored sites. Stripe sits 2% below the cohort mean.

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.

Since last week's score, Stripe dropped by 7.7 points — moving from 68.8 to 61.099999999999994.

The engine detected 713 custom properties at :root — a rich token layer. The question is whether those tokens are structured (primitive → semantic → component) or flat.
