In June 2026 we pointed Prufa's free audit at 50 products that had just launched on Show HN — every launch from the previous 30 days that earned at least 10 points. These are products at their moment of maximum attention: front page, real traffic, founders watching the comments.
The headline numbers, from the 49 audits that completed (one site couldn't be reached by our runner):
100% of the 49 launches had at least one machine-verified finding.
78% — 38 of 49 — had at least one critical finding.
