The Thomas page uses a “Backed by Y Combinator” line under the hero headline. The comparison page for Napkin uses a logo strip with Spotify, Berkeley, Facebook, NYU, Netflix, and LinkedIn beneath the hero.

Trust comparison:

1. Napkin (by HyperWrite / AI founder projects) — 62
2. Thomas — 48

## CTA — 62/100, Fair

We assess CTA copy, size, verb, and cost-feel. The report identifies these problems:

- Low contrast and easy to miss
- Small compared with the giant hero wordmark
- Promises reading rather than product value
- The arrow implies scrolling rather than an action

CTA comparison:

1. Napkin (by HyperWrite / AI founder projects) — 72
2. Thomas — 62

[Rewrite this CTA](https://www.lazyweb.com/backlog?site=madebythomas.ai#opt-cta-writing) to generate primary and secondary options grounded in Thomas’s offer and visitor objections.

## Mobile web — 64/100, Fair

We assess the phone experience as a first-class experience.

![Mobile web annotations on the mobile capture](https://zlfyzdmohcskkucuunmk.supabase.co/storage/v1/object/public/sites/growth-score/site/madebythomas.ai-mobile.jpg?v=2026-09-20T21%3A36%3A12.048%2B00%3A00)

1. **Read the Manifesto CTA:** The only CTA is cropped at the viewport edge and sized like a desktop pill rather than a full-width thumb button.
2. **Y Combinator mark:** The bright orange logo draws the eye more than the muted CTA and reads as the tappable element.

## Value props — 68/100, Fair

The headline is **“The first AI founder”** and the subhead is **“Thomas, a virtual human who starts and grows his own companies on the internet.”**

What works:

- The novel claim is stated in five words
- The YC badge supplies immediate proof
- The subhead explains the concept clearly

What could improve:

- No numbers or named companies
- The hero image decorates rather than showing the product
- No outcome or milestone evidence

Value-proposition comparison:

1. Thomas — 68
2. Napkin (by HyperWrite / AI founder projects) — 62

## Information hierarchy — 72/100, Fair

The annotated findings are:

1. **Read the Manifesto CTA:** The primary CTA is cropped at the bottom edge, styled in low-contrast beige, and undersized relative to the giant headline.
2. **Follow and social icons:** Three exit paths—FOLLOW, LinkedIn, and X—sit at the top-right scan terminus and outrank the barely visible primary CTA.
3. **Backed by Y Combinator:** The orange YC badge is the brightest element, pulling the eye more strongly than the CTA or subtext.
