# Applied Electrodynamics, Inc.

[Our website](https://www.ae-dyn.com/) is evaluated in Lazyweb’s YC S26 landing-page growth report. We are ranked **#2 of 4** with an overall **Growth score of 61**, updated **Sep 20, 2026**. Our weakest category is **Trust (45, Poor)**.

## Category scores

- Trust: **45**
- Mobile web: **58**
- Value props: **62**
- CTA: **66**
- Information hierarchy: **76**

## Trust — 45, Poor

Our page uses a **“Backed by Y Combinator”** badge in the header as its trust signal. The report compares this with:

| Company | Trust read |
| --- | --- |
| Applied Electrodynamics, Inc. | “Backed by Y Combinator” badge in the header |
| Vayyar (Walabot DIY) | “SAFE PURCHASE 30-DAY MONEY BACK GUARANTEE” under the BUY NOW button |
| Franklin Sensors | Mobile hero photo of a worker using a Franklin stud finder on real drywall |
| Bosch Wall Scanners (D-tect line) | Implicit familiarity among its target audience |

Our trust ranking is **#3 at 45**, behind Vayyar (Walabot DIY) at 58 and Bosch Wall Scanners (D-tect line) at 55, and ahead of Franklin Sensors at 44.

## Mobile web — 58, Fair

The mobile capture identifies three issues:

1. **Preorder Now button:** A desktop-proportioned pill rather than a full-width, thumb-friendly mobile CTA.
2. **Backed by Y badge:** Wraps to a second header row, truncates “Combinator,” and uses fold height without converting.
3. **Subhead copy defect:** The missing space in “superpower.See” makes the primary value statement look broken.

## Value props — 62, Fair

Our hero copy is:

> **A new kind of camera**
>
> “Applied Electrodynamics WaveSight is a new superpower. See through walls, and much more.”

What works:

- “See through walls” is concrete and visceral.
- “A new superpower” creates an emotional hook.
- The mystery headline builds curiosity.

What could improve:

- The headline hides the true capability.
- It provides no numbers, specifications, or proof points.
- The hero image is dark and does not show the product working.

Our value-proposition ranking is **#2 at 62**, behind Vayyar (Walabot DIY) at 76 and ahead of Franklin Sensors at 48 and Bosch Wall Scanners (D-tect line) at 32.

## CTA — 66, Fair

Our primary CTA is **“Preorder Now.”** The report identifies these problems:

- It creates a purchase-level commitment without showing a price.
- The button is small relative to the giant headline.
- Labels differ between “Preorder” and “Now.”
- Olive text and styling have low contrast on the dark page.

Our CTA ranking is **#2 at 66**, behind Vayyar (Walabot DIY) at 68 and ahead of Franklin Sensors and Bosch Wall Scanners (D-tect line), both at 62.

## Information hierarchy — 76, Fair

The report identifies:

1. **Header Preorder button:** A same-weight duplicate of the hero’s “Preorder Now” splits the primary action’s visual authority.
2. **Preorder Now button:** Muted olive-on-black styling is too low contrast for the key action and fails the one-second find test.
3. **Subtitle text block:** “See through walls” is dim gray and subordinate to a headline that names no benefit.
