## Score over time

- **September 22, 2026:** 70, live report; overall +2, mobile web +14, value props −10.
- [June 4, 2026: 68](https://www.lazyweb.com/growth-score/history/2026-06-04); overall −2, mobile web −8, information hierarchy +6.
- [April 27, 2026: 70](https://www.lazyweb.com/growth-score/history/2026-04-27); first tracked report, strongest Information hierarchy 76, weakest Trust 62.

## Value props — 62, Fair

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

The analyzed headline is **“The Agentic IDE for Open-Source Models.”** The accompanying description says: “stagewise is a next-gen agent orchestrator for software engineers, leveraging our frontier-grade agent harness. Full model sovereignty. Runs locally, connects to anything.”

### Working

- The open-source-models angle is a sharp differentiator.
- “Runs locally” communicates privacy and control.
- The hero screenshot shows the agent working.

### Could improve

- “Frontier-grade agent harness” is insider jargon.
- No user outcome is named in the fold.
- The **6.8K+** number is unlabeled and easy to miss.

### Category ranking

1. Cursor — 76
2. Zed — 76
3. Void — 70
4. Claude Code — 68
5. Windsurf — 64
6. stagewise — 62

## Trust — 64, Fair

This category evaluates proof that a product is real, competent, and safe to try.

| Product | Trust read |
| --- | --- |
| stagewise | GitHub badge showing “6.8K+” next to the download CTA |
| Claude Code | Implicit context: Claude Code may benefit from pre-existing familiarity among its target audience. |
| Cursor | Detailed “Cursor Desktop” product UI showing the “Plan Mission Control” agent workflow and Cursor CLI output |
| Windsurf | Detailed product screenshot of the Sessions board with “Running,” “Waiting for review,” and “Done” columns |
| Zed | Real editor screenshot showing an agent task “Add AccessKit support to GPUI elements” with live file tree and code |
| Void | “Backed by Y Combinator” badge below the CTAs |

## CTA — 72, Fair

This category evaluates CTA copy, size, verb, and cost-feel.

The report compares CTA examples including **“Download for Linux,” “Download now,”** and **“Download Beta.”**

### Problems

- Three different download labels are used.
- Including a platform in the label narrows the audience.
- “Download” feels heavier than “try.”

### Category ranking

1. Zed — 82
2. Void — 76
3. Cursor — 73
4. stagewise — 72
5. Claude Code — 68
6. Windsurf — 66

[Rewrite this CTA](https://www.lazyweb.com/backlog?site=stagewise.io#opt-cta-writing) opens the CTA rewrite workflow for primary and secondary CTA options grounded in stagewise’s offer and visitor objections.

## Mobile web — 72, Fair

The report identifies these mobile issues:

1. **Download on Desktop CTA:** The label tells phone visitors the action is not for them, creating a dead end with no mobile alternative.
2. **Six-line subheadline block:** Two stacked value statements wrap into six lines and push the CTA toward the bottom of the fold.
3. **Tiny product screenshot:** The desktop IDE screenshot becomes illegible on a phone and adds little comprehension value.

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

## Information hierarchy — 78, Fair

The report identifies these hierarchy issues:

1. **Cropped product screenshot:** The app preview and scenic backdrop are cut at the fold, so the strongest visual does not fully land.
2. **Header Download button:** It has the same weight and label family as the hero CTA, splitting the fold’s single action into two targets.
3. **Download for Linux CTA:** The OS-specific label may make non-Linux visitors hesitate at the only conversion point.
