Leaderboard
30 curated sites scored by the same deterministic 34-check engine that scores designesy.org. No LLM, no paywall, no pay-to-remove.
Scores reflect what the engine measures on the live fetched surface — token architecture, motion hygiene, accessibility primitives, typography discipline. A site can look world-class and still score low if it doesn’t ship the contract primitives at :root. That is the point.

Cohort snapshot
Policy. Curated seed (30 sites) + open submission. Scores are deterministic — 34 checks, no LLM. Sites scoring below 50 are flagged "needs work", not hidden. No paywall, no pay-to-remove. Scores re-run weekly. The seed list is curated across five tiers (reference, competitors, design-system exemplars, inspiration, high-traffic). Open submission is a follow-up — for now, mail hello@designesy.org.
Ranking
Ranked by total score. The top site is the only A-grade site in the cohort. Select any row to re-score it live at /score.

How to read this
What the engine measures
34 deterministic checks across 11 weighted categories — token architecture, motion hygiene, accessibility primitives, typography discipline, reduced-motion handling, AI disclosure, forced-colors readiness. Not an LLM impression. Not a roast. The same engine scores designesy.org itself, in public, at /score?url=designesy.org.
The engine measures what is shipped, not what is documented. A design-system site can publish a rich token taxonomy in storybook and still score low if the marketing surface doesn’t expose those tokens at :root. That gap — between documented and shipped — is exactly what the leaderboard surfaces.
