HAND-CRAFTED — slop score 13/100

This one checks out as hand-built. The platform is a WordPress-hosted academic blog (hypotheses.org) with an Akismet privacy link that goes nowhere, which is a common unfixed default on self-hosted WordPress installs rather than a sign of AI scaffolding. The one other flag, Inter as the body font, is just a common web font choice and doesn't carry much weight on its own. There's no shadcn component sprawl, no gradient hero, no stacked em dashes or marketing copy to point to, so the slop score of 13 reflects a page with a single minor structural oversight and nothing resembling AI-generated design or prose. Confidence in the hand-crafted verdict is high.

Findings

• Untouched shadcn/Tailwind defaults — shadcn components, lucide icons, and Inter/Geist/Space-Grotesk font stacks left at their defaults mean the model picked the design, not a person. Instrument Serif as an accent font is a separate, independently corroborated tell.
• Dead Privacy Policy link — The Privacy Policy link exists but leads to an empty or broken page — the template put the link there and nobody wrote the page.
