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.
Based on 1130 businesses audited.
Adeia has 21.8 points more BS than the average for Software, SaaS & Tech Products.
Software, SaaS & Tech Products BS: Adeia (adeia.com)
Adeia is a legitimate IP powerhouse hiding behind a thin, generic marketing veil. The presence of unverified review counts (Trust Theatre) on a corporate licensing site is an unnecessary and suspicious inclusion that detracts from their massive patent authority.
Eliminate the placeholder review counts and replace them with links to actual patent filings or named industry partners. Replace fluff headings like ‘igniting innovation’ with descriptive titles that highlight your specific technology sectors. Add Organization and Specialist schema to the backend to support your claims of industry leadership. Detail at least three ‘award-winning innovations’ by naming the award and the year received.
The site aligns with the Tech and IP Licensing sector. While it uses Software/SaaS language, the content specifically highlights patent portfolios and entertainment technology innovations rather than a traditional subscription product.
“The score of 55 reflects a 'Moderate BS' rating. The score was primarily driven by high Trust Theatre (unverified reviews) and low Information Density in headings, offset by the inclusion of specific financial and patent metrics which provide significant substance.”
