About the project

Site audits that tell thetruth, fast.

Brutal Audit fetches any public page, runs it through a specialized AI judge, and returns a clear score, grade, findings, and copy-paste prompts to fix what matters. No vague advice. No fluff.

Why we built it

Most audits are too soft or too slow.

We wanted a tool that gives honest feedback in the time it takes to pour coffee. Not a 40-page PDF buried in jargon. Not a generic checklist. Just the actual problems, ranked by impact, with evidence pulled straight from the page.

Brutal Audit is opinionated by design. It uses structured prompting and explicit scoring criteria so every audit is consistent, comparable, and actionable. You can re-run the same URL with different angles to triangulate what really needs work.

9 angles

One URL, many lenses.

Each angle applies a different framework. Pick the one that fits your goal, or run a few and compare the verdicts.
