What it is

The shape a page takes when nobody asks what it needs to say. One signal is not a verdict. The score is the whole weighted set, not any single line of it.

How it is weighted

5 points is deliberately light. This one is a hint, and it is only interesting alongside others.

What to do about it

Use a plain bar that sits on the page ground, or keep the capsule and give it a reason: a real product shape, not a rounded rectangle with blur behind it.

Where it fires

None of our worked examples trip this one, which is itself informative — it means the pattern is rarer than the tells that fire constantly, so when it does show up it is worth paying attention to.
