What it is
Evidence of deliberate decisions. Finding this does not make a page good. It makes it deliberate, which is a different and smaller claim.
How it is weighted
This is a craft marker, so it pulls the score down rather than up — 8 points of evidence that somebody made a decision here.
Craft does double duty in the scoring. It subtracts directly, and it also damps the aesthetic categories: the more deliberate craft a page shows, the less its gradients and rounded corners are allowed to say about it.
How to earn it
Add a prefers-reduced-motion block that disables or shortens the animations.
