Linear — Design Score: 90/100 (grade A)
Excellent typography & motion foundation (95–100), but spacing rhythm breaks down mid-UI—27% of spacings drift off the 4px grid, forcing manual fixes downstream.

What we measured
- Typography & Hierarchy — type ladder rhythm: 1.33× · 2.00× · 1.60× · 1.07× (29.6/35)
- Typography & Hierarchy — weight contrast: [300, 400, 510, 590] (spread 290) (20.0/20)
- Typography & Hierarchy — body line-height: 1.60 (15.0/15)
- Typography & Hierarchy — heading line-height: 1.00 (10.0/10)
- Typography & Hierarchy — size discipline: 5 (20.0/20)
- Color & Contrast — body text contrast (WCAG): 18.73:1 (30.0/30)
- Color & Contrast — primary button contrast: 15.83:1 (10.0/10)
- Color & Contrast — accent discipline: 3 (20.0/20)
- Color & Contrast — surface coverage: 95% dominant (20.0/20)
- Color & Contrast — scheme consistency: dark (10.0/20)
- Spacing & Layout — spacing grid: 4px grid · 81% confidence (28.4/35)
- Spacing & Layout — grid adherence: 8/12 on 4px (16.7/25)
- Spacing & Layout — structure & responsive: 2 breakpoints (15.0/15)
- Motion & Polish — motion tokens: 160ms dominant (25.0/25)
- Motion & Polish — choreography: 2 reveal candidates (20.0/20)
Every line above is read from the live DOM — the exact contrast ratio, the detected spacing grid, the forced hover states — not an AI's guess from a screenshot.
Top fixes
- Audit and snap remaining 33% of spacing to 4px grid
- Extend color scheme scoring—define light mode OR justify dark-only
- Tighten type ladder—replace 1.07× jump with 1.1–1.15×
