this site, measured
everything on this page is generated. the contrast figures are computed from the hex values at build time with the wcag relative luminance formula, the weights are read off the built files, and the last block is measured in your browser rather than ours.
the point is not the numbers. it is that you can check them, and that we had to look at them before you did.
the ledger
every step of the ramp against both grounds, computed here, next to the figure the brand book publishes. the book claims its figures are computed from the hex values rather than estimated. this table is how anyone checks that.

the pairs this site actually uses
a ledger of the whole ramp is a table. a ledger of what is on the screen is an audit. the brand book certifies its accent against the two page colors only, so the pairs below are the ones that had to be checked separately.

17 pairs, 0 failing. the accent measures 4.35 on the card surface the book defines, which fails, so that surface is not used anywhere on this site. the rule is kept by removing the thing that breaks it.
the weight budget
a budget nobody enforces is a wish. this one is a file, the build reads it, and the build fails when a page goes over. the figures below are read off the built output by scripts/report.mjs.

the accent ceiling is a separate gate: a count of lit objects per page, listed in src/data/site.ts. it is a rule this site imposed on itself and it is not in the brand book.
your browser, just now
everything above was measured on our machine. the three figures below are measured on yours, by your browser, and nothing is sent anywhere.

- largest contentful paint

- cumulative layout shift

javascript is off, so these three are blank. everything above this line was rendered without it.
