Analyze a Website Inspiration dataset as two separate questions: what is visually worth learning from, and what is technically safe to copy.
Where: Flowgen → Add → Research & Insights → Website Audit
Key ideas
- Evidence-led scorecard: The deterministic scorecard summarizes available performance, accessibility, best-practice, SEO, Core Web Vitals, typography, palette, and content signals before any narrative is written.
- Project context: Connect a brief, brand, or market report to Project Context so the recommendations are relevant to the site being built.
- Implementation checklist: The selected analyst model turns the measured evidence into patterns to borrow, risks to avoid, and concrete build/QA priorities without inventing missing scores.
- Website Audit card: WebsiteAnalysisNode uses the generic shared-card path. Separate award-worthy visual patterns from measured performance, accessibility, SEO, and implementation quality.

Steps
- Connect Dataset from Website Inspiration or another compatible website dataset.
- Optionally connect the project brief or research report to Project Context and choose the analyst model.
- Run the audit and review how many sites had measured evidence before trusting aggregate scores.
- Wire Audit or Report into design-system, Section, Website Studio, or QA planning nodes.

Tips
- Keep the reference set coherent enough to compare; mix categories only when the brief benefits from deliberate cross-pollination.
- Treat missing PageSpeed evidence as unknown, never as a zero or a pass.
Limitations and important notes
- A Lighthouse or field-data snapshot is not a substitute for testing the finished product with its real traffic, devices, analytics, and assistive technology.
- Visual recurrence describes the collected sample; it does not prove a pattern causes awards or business results.
Troubleshooting
The report is mostly visual
