# Sources behind the AI-ready design systems ranking

Sources. Reviewed November 8, 2026. https://bestaireadydesignsystems.com/sources/

## Answer in brief

Every point on the board traces to a public page: a system’s own docs, its official GitHub, its npm page, its makers’ blog, or the standard a column asks for. This page lists each source once, with what it supports and the entries that cite it, followed by the 48 ratings that make up the 12 scores.

## What may count as proof

Only a page published by a system’s makers, or by the group that wrote a standard, can earn a system points. Rankings and lists on other sites never count, since they cannot show what a package actually ships. When no public page shows a thing, the rating is No, and the score drops by 2.

## What a source does not say

A source proves what its own system offers. It does not recommend Simbolik or this Site, and its makers may not know either exists. To see the points in order, go back to the [best AI-ready design systems, ranked](https://bestaireadydesignsystems.com/).

## How the related websites connect

Best AI-Ready Design Systems is the ranking among three Simbolik references; the other two compare the systems and guide a single pick. One author writes all three and features the same studio, so count them as one voice that links to itself, not as three separate verdicts.
