Your Diagnosis
Before revealing the machine’s verdict, predict the BS score for each signal. Higher = more BS (more fluff, less verifiable substance). Drag each slider, then submit to compare your judgment against the engine.
Information Density
0 / 30
Read the Narrative & headings: do hard facts (prices, dates, numbers) outweigh fluff power-words?
Semantic Coherence
0 / 20
Compare the homepage promise against the sub-page reality. Do they hold the same line?
Trust & Proof
0 / 20
Weigh review mentions against actual external proof links. Claims without verification = theatre.
Commodity Fingerprint
0 / 15
Check headings & narrative against the industry clichés in the setup above.
Identity & Authority
0 / 15
Inspect the schema: is there real Organization/Person identity with sameAs links, or gaps?
Your predicted BS score
0 / 100
Stuck? Reveal the heuristic lens — how the deterministic page-auditor reads each signal (no AI, pure pattern rules)
These are the structural rules a local, deterministic auditor applies — the same lens you can use to judge each signal. They describe what to look for, not this company’s result.
Information Density
Classify each sentence as substantive or hollow. Grounding markers — numbers, currencies, dates, technical units, named entities — outweigh marketing adjectives. When fluff sits right next to hard evidence, the fluff is forgiven.
Semantic Alignment
Pull the main entities out of the H1, then check whether they actually recur through the body. A page that announces one thing and then talks about another drifts. Headings with no real sentences underneath read as pseudo-substance.
Trust & Proof
Count trust words (review, testimonial, rating, verified) against real outbound proof links (Google, Trustpilot, Clutch, G2, Yelp). Lots of trust language with zero verification links is trust theatre. Unlinked logo galleries count against it.
Commodity Fingerprint
Look at how much sentence length varies. Natural writing varies its rhythm; templated or mass-produced copy is statistically uniform. Very low variation reads as commodity content — unless unique named entities break the pattern.
Identity & Authority
Inspect the JSON-LD. Is there an Organization or Person schema, and does it carry sameAs links to real external profiles (LinkedIn, socials)? Missing schema or no identity declaration signals an anonymous entity.
Want to apply this lens yourself? The free BS Indicator Chrome extension runs these heuristic checks live on any page. Bear in mind it is a single-page, deterministic tool — it relies only on pattern rules for the page in front of it and does not perform the cross-page semantic correlation this audit uses, so its readout is a starting lens, not the full verdict.

BS / 100
Petrie Partners is a high-substance boutique firm whose digital presence is hindered only by lazy WordPress implementation and poor schema hygiene. The lack of bullshit is refreshing; they sell deal flow and institutional experience rather than generic industry visions.

Immediately update the JSON-LD schema to replace A WordPress Site with Petrie Partners and change the @type from LocalBusiness to InvestmentBank or Organization. Consolidate the four identical H2 headings on the homepage into a single H1 to fix the hierarchy. Add sameAs links to the Team page bios connecting Jon Hughes and Mike Bock to their SEC or FINRA profiles to bridge the authority gap.
The site content perfectly matches the Energy Investment Banking and Strategic Advisory sector. It focuses on large-scale upstream oil and gas transactions, mergers, and financings rather than the B2C utilities jargon provided in the industry pattern dictionary.
“The score of 28 is driven primarily by technical implementation failures (Schema and Heading repeats) rather than content bullshit. The Transactions page is a masterclass in substance, preventing the score from entering the Moderate or High BS ranges.”
