Taste Audit

What It Checks

1. AI Slop Score (0-10, lower is better)

Scans for:

Default/generic font usage (Inter, Roboto, Arial without justification)
Purple-to-blue gradient patterns
Generic card grid layouts
Stock hero section patterns
Cookie-cutter button copy ("Get Started", "Learn More")
Overused component patterns without variation

Scoring:

0-2: Clean. Intentional design choices.
3-5: Mild slop. Some generic patterns leaking in.
6-8: Significant slop. Needs creative intervention.
9-10: Full AI default. Start over with a creative brief.

2. Writing Quality Score (0-10, higher is better)

Scans for:

AI tone markers (see copy-editor agent for full list)
Corporate buzzwords
Em-dash overuse
Passive voice excess
Filler phrases
Generic CTAs

3. Accessibility Baseline

Checks:

Color contrast ratios (WCAG AA)
Focus indicator presence
Alt text on images
Semantic HTML structure
Touch target sizes (44px minimum)
Reduced motion support

4. Hierarchy Check

Evaluates:

Clear visual weight distribution
Logical heading order (H1 > H2 > H3, no skips)
CTA prominence relative to other elements
Information grouping via proximity

5. Consistency Check

Looks for:

Spacing value consistency (are values from the scale?)
Color token consistency (raw hex vs token usage)
Typography consistency (type scale adherence)
Component pattern consistency
