## Value props — 42/100, Poor

Wardstone’s headline is **“THE MODULAR INTERCEPTOR PLATFORM.”**

**What works**

- The fold has a confident, single-message focus.
- The tone is appropriate for defense.

**What could improve**

- There is no subhead adding specifics.
- There is no outcome, threat, or number.
- The hero image decorates rather than demonstrates the product.

1. Fortem Technologies — 70
2. MARSS — 68
3. Wardstone — 42
4. Anduril Industries — 34
5. Epirus — 34

1. **Watch Demo CTA:** The ghost-outline button has low contrast against the gray fog and blends into the background.
2. **Headline block:** “THE MODULAR INTERCEPTOR PLATFORM” has no supporting subtitle, leaving no explanation of what Wardstone does.
3. **Contact button:** Its boxed styling matches the primary CTA, splitting attention between two same-weight boxed actions.

1. **WATCH DEMO button:** The thin outlined ghost button is only half the column width and has low contrast against the gray backdrop, making the sole CTA easy to miss.
