Notion — Design Score: 83/100 (grade B)
Strong typography & motion polish (91–90); spacing grid is loose (64) — only 50% of elements snap to rhythm, breaking visual cohesion.

- Color & Contrast — scheme consistency: light (10.0/20)
- Spacing & Layout — spacing grid: 4px grid · 70% confidence (24.5/35)
- Spacing & Layout — grid adherence: 6/12 on 4px (12.5/25)
- Spacing & Layout — structure & responsive: 2 breakpoints (15.0/15)
- Motion & Polish — motion tokens: 200ms dominant (25.0/25)
- Motion & Polish — choreography: 0 reveal candidates (10.0/20)
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 enforce 4px grid adherence across all spacings
- Smooth the type ladder at the 3.38× jump (between two heading sizes)
- Add dark mode color scheme (light-only now, index 9)
