Find out how far your design system has drifted
QA Proof extracts the design tokens actually in use on your live pages, measures how consistent they are, and turns the result into a single Design Debt Score you can track.

Design systems decay one exception at a time
Nobody decides to have fourteen shades of grey and nine font sizes. It happens through a rushed deadline here and a one-off component there. By the time it is visible, it is spread across the whole codebase and nobody can quantify how bad it got.
How it works
Enter your URL
Point QA Proof at a live page. Nothing to install and no access to your design files needed.
Tokens get extracted
Colours, type scales, spacing values and component patterns are read from the rendered DOM.
Get your Design Debt Score
One number, four category breakdowns, and specific values worth consolidating.
What the audit measures
Automated token extraction
Reads the values actually rendered in the browser, not what the style guide claims should be there.
Colour palette analysis
Surfaces near-duplicate colours that should collapse into one token.
Typography analysis
Maps every font size, weight and line height in use against a coherent scale.
Spacing consistency
Finds the one-off margins and paddings that sit outside your spacing scale.
Component reuse
Highlights repeated patterns that have been rebuilt instead of shared.
Design Debt Score
A single tracked number, so you can show the trend rather than argue from anecdotes.
Who uses it
Design system owners
Turn "the system is drifting" into a number your stakeholders will act on.
Engineering leads
Justify refactor work with measured debt instead of a gut feeling.
Teams before a redesign
Know exactly what you are carrying forward before you start rebuilding.
