## Value props — 54, Fair

This category asks whether the title, subtitle, and hero sell the product’s true value.

**Headline:** “Give Your Compliance, BSA, and Ops Teams Superpowers”

**Subhead:** “With Hickory your team has better access to data, help with supporting work, and tailored insights”

### Working

- Names the exact audience: compliance, BSA, and ops.
- BSA jargon signals banking-domain credibility.
- Uses one clean CTA repeatedly in the navigation and hero.

### Could improve

- “Superpowers” is an abstraction.
- The subhead lists features without specificity.
- The hero image decorates rather than showing the product.

### Value-proposition ranking

1. Greenlite — 72
2. Cable — 72
3. Hummingbird — 68
4. Parcha — 58
5. Hickory & Company — 54

## CTA — 70, Fair

The primary CTA is **“Book a demo.”**

### Problems identified

- “Book” feels like a time commitment.
- The hero button is small compared with the large headline.
- There is no low-friction alternative CTA.

### CTA ranking

1. Hickory & Company — 70
2. Parcha — 68
3. Greenlite — 62
4. Hummingbird — 62
5. Cable — 62

## Mobile web — 74, Fair

This category evaluates the phone experience.

1. **Hero headline wrap:** The serif headline scales down minimally and wraps into four tall lines, dominating the hero and pushing the CTA toward the fold edge.
2. **Book a demo button:** The desktop-proportioned pill remains narrow in the column instead of becoming a near-full-width thumb target.

[View mobile fixes](https://www.lazyweb.com/backlog?site=hickory.co#opt-mobile-web) to convert these findings into a prioritized implementation checklist.

## Information hierarchy — 86, Strong

This category asks whether the design helps or inhibits what the page is trying to say.

1. **Hero “Book a demo”:** Its small footprint versus the oversized headline weakens the action step, and it duplicates the navigation pill at a similar weight.
2. **Hero subheadline text:** White text on the mid-green halftone texture has borderline contrast, softening the supporting message.

## Competitors

These competitors are identified from product, audience, and value proposition:
