HAND-CRAFTED — slop score 8/100

This one comes back clean. The three flags we logged, a sponsored ski shop banner, a snow-forecast table stuck mid-load with gray skeleton bars, and a plain blue newsletter button, are the kind of thing you'd find on any ski forecasting site built by a small team on a deadline, not evidence of a model generating the page end to end. None of them touch copy, structure, or layout logic, which is where AI generation usually leaves its fingerprints. A skeleton loader left visible in a screenshot just means the capture caught the page before the data finished rendering, and a navy header with a blue CTA is standard web design, not a purple-gradient hero with a sparkle emoji. At 8 out of 100, the score reflects a site that reads like it was built and maintained by people who know what they're forecasting, with the kind of small, mundane imperfections real production sites accumulate.

Findings

• Sponsored ad placement with stock imagery — A sponsored banner shows a generic skier photo with a basic blue bar overlay and store name, a fairly standard ad unit rather than an AI tell per se, but it's the only imagery on the page and otherwise unremarkable.
• Loading skeleton placeholders left visible — The 'Chutes de neige à venir 6 jours' table shows unfilled gray skeleton/loading bars across all rows and columns, suggesting the capture occurred mid-load or that this state is a persistent rendering artifact rather than deliberate design.
• Indigo/blue accent as default button color — The newsletter signup button and header use a flat blue that falls within the generic 'safe accent' range the guide flags, though this is a single, functional, low-saturation instance rather than a gradient wash.
