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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

Tunnock's has 1.6 points more BS than the average for Food, Restaurants & Delivery.
Food, Restaurants & Delivery BS: Tunnock's (tunnock.co.uk)
Tunnock’s is a rare case of ‘Passive BS’—the site isn’t over-promising, it is under-proving. It relies entirely on its offline reputation to fill a digital vacuum characterized by a 0% proof-link ratio and a complete lack of structured data. While not deceptive, the technical implementation is a textbook example of a commodity template masquerading as a brand portal.
First, implement Organization and Product schema to link the 1890 founding claim to verifiable data. Second, differentiate the sub-pages by replacing the repeated homepage text with unique narratives for the ‘About Us’ and ‘Products’ sections. Third, add a dedicated section for Food Hygiene ratings and allergen information to meet industry-specific proof expectations. Finally, add at least one H1 per page to fix the broken heading hierarchy and improve technical authority.
The website perfectly aligns with the bakery and food production category, specifically focusing on iconic Scottish confectionery. The content centers entirely on its product line, such as Teacakes and Caramel Wafers, which confirms its identity as a traditional manufacturer rather than a service-based restaurant.
“The BS score of 44 is driven largely by the Identity and Authority pillar (12/15) and Information Density (12/30). The total absence of structured data and the technical failure of sub-pages to provide unique content (Semantic Coherence) are the primary culprits. The score remains below 50 because the site avoids the aggressive marketing jargon and fake trust signals common in high-BS businesses.”
