Score breakdown and evidenceEvery point, with the quote behind it

Saie has the best pun in clean beauty ("Saie hello to super clean makeup.") and a tidy free-shipping line, but its homepage has no H1 and the bars talk about carbon reports and arts programs before makeup. The lash curler PDP shows no review count in source.

?Tech StackExcluded: custom build, partial scanWhy excluded

Saie runs a custom or headless storefront where our scanner sees very little (0 apps detected). A low number here would reflect our scanner, not their stack, so we leave Tech Stack out and reweight the score across the categories we could measure.
