(https://openntpd.org) 📸 Data Snapshot: May 25, 2026Analyze the raw signals below. How would a machine score this business’s credibility?
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.

[H2] [IMG: [OpenNTPD]] OpenNTPD 6.8p1 released December 7, 2020 OpenNTPD is a FREE, easy-to-use implementation of the Network Time Protocol. It provides the ability to sync the local clock to remote NTP servers and can act as NTP server itself, redistributing the local clock. OpenNTPD was primarily developed by Henning Brauer as part of the OpenBSD Project and gets released as a base component of OpenBSD every six months. The portable version, maintained by Brent Cook, is available via periodic tarball releases. Contributions are welcome to both the OpenNTPD core and the portable build framework. The software is freely usable and re-usable by everyone under a BSD license.

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.
OpenNTPD has 18.2 points less BS than the average for Software, SaaS & Tech Products.
Software, SaaS & Tech Products BS: OpenNTPD (openntpd.org)
This is a rare example of a zero-BS technical landing page. It provides exactly what is necessary to understand the project’s utility and origin without a single layer of marketing veneer. The only points deducted are for technical metadata omissions and stale release information.
Implement Organization and SoftwareSourceCode schema to bridge the identity gap. Add an H1 tag containing the project name to satisfy basic structural hierarchy. Update the release information or provide a link to a current changelog to address the 65-month temporal gap. Include outbound links to the maintainers’ professional profiles or the OpenBSD project page to verify authority.
The site perfectly aligns with the Software and Tech category as a specialized implementation of the Network Time Protocol (NTP). The content focus is purely on technical utility, licensing, and development origin, confirming its status as a functional open-source project page.
“The low BS score of 15 is driven by the total absence of industry jargon, power words, and trust theatre. The minor point penalties were exclusively due to the technical implementation (missing schema, missing H1) and the stale release date relative to the temporal anchor. This site serves as a benchmark for high-substance, low-fluff communication.”
This training module utilizes a snapshot of public data from OpenNTPD, captured on May 25, 2026, to demonstrate how machine logic evaluates different types of business narratives.
Purpose: This data is presented under “Fair Use” / “Educational Exception” for the purpose of forensic semantic analysis, allowing users to compare human intuition against machine-generated evaluations.
Notice to OpenNTPD: This analysis is part of a non-adversarial audit conducted by 1 Euro SEO. The results provided by 1EuroSEO are intended as professional feedback to help improve any website’s machine-readability and authority signals. The 1EuroSEO BS Detection Tool is a free tool, and anyone can test any company to see how their content is interpreted by AI models.
Any company can use the insights for free and improve its voice by comparing it to industry clichés or competitors. When a company has updated its content, it can always submit a new audit request, which will be reflected in a new current score.
