Here are the exact signals captured from up to six pages of the site — the same raw inputs the evaluation engine analyzed. They are grouped by signal type so you can weigh each the way the machine does.

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.

Logistics, Transport & Shipping BS: Royal Mail (www.royalmail.com)
Royal Mail’s digital presence in this dataset is a substantive vacuum, replaced entirely by a technical 403 error screen. While it lacks standard marketing fluff, it fails entirely to provide evidence of its existence as a logistics entity. The score reflects a total failure of substance that overrides the absence of generic marketing signal.
Immediately resolve the ‘Access Denied’ 403 error to allow crawlers and users to access substantive logistics content. Implement Organization and Logistics-specific JSON-LD schema to establish entity authority and connect the site to official social profiles. Populate the homepage with verifiable proof points, including route coverage maps, AEO/IATA certifications, and live tracking system access. Replace generic technical headers with value-driven service descriptions and specific performance data regarding delivery reliability.
The provided data for Royal Mail indicates a total failure to match the Logistics, Transport & Shipping industry due to a server-level Access Denied error. There is no evidence of logistics operations, last-mile delivery, or tracking systems in the crawled text to support its industry classification.
“The score of 53 is driven primarily by Information Density and Identity pillars due to the total lack of substance and technical failure. Semantic Coherence is penalized for the total drift between the brand's industry classification and the error-state content provided. The score remains in the moderate range only because the site lacks the standard industry jargon and power-word fluff that usually drives higher BS scores in active marketing sites.”
