[Build proof section](https://www.lazyweb.com/backlog?site=touchmark.ai#opt-trust-signals) lets us choose proof signals and receive copy and placement for a stronger trust section.

## Value props — 58, Fair

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

Touchmark’s headline is described as underselling the offer. The page uses the brand name as its H1 and the supporting line **“Market for AI model inference. Future capacity, bought today.”**

**Working:**

- The subhead names the category and mechanism.
- “Bought today” implies a concrete action.
- The copy avoids a buzzword abstraction stack.

**Could improve:**

- The H1 is only the brand name.
- There are no numbers, prices, or proof points.
- The hero visual decorates rather than showing the market.

Value-proposition ranking:

1. Vast.ai — 78
2. Shadeform — 78
3. SF Compute — 76
4. Akash Network — 68
5. Touchmark — 58

## Information hierarchy — 78, Fair

![Information hierarchy annotations on the desktop capture](https://zlfyzdmohcskkucuunmk.supabase.co/storage/v1/object/public/sites/growth-score/site/touchmark.ai.jpg?v=2026-09-20T06%3A03%3A26.812%2B00%3A00)

The report identifies three desktop issues:

1. **Subheadline gray text:** Low-contrast, small gray copy makes the only product explanation easy to skim past.
2. **Y Combinator badge:** The orange badge is the brightest color on the fold, drawing attention to credibility rather than the CTA.
3. **Enter the market CTA:** The label names an action rather than a benefit, and its muted gray fill blends into the grayscale scene.

[View layout plan](https://www.lazyweb.com/backlog?site=touchmark.ai#opt-information-hierarchy) turns these callouts into a sequenced plan to keep, move, merge, or remove elements.

## CTA — 80, Strong

![Touchmark CTA screenshot](https://zlfyzdmohcskkucuunmk.supabase.co/storage/v1/object/public/sites/growth-score/site/touchmark.ai.jpg?v=2026-09-20T06%3A03%3A26.812%2B00%3A00)

The primary CTA is **“Enter the market”**. The report lists these problems:

- The label names a place, not a payoff.
- There is no secondary low-intent path.
- The arrow icon adds no meaning.

CTA ranking:

1. Touchmark — 80
2. Akash Network — 78
3. Vast.ai — 72
4. Shadeform — 68
5. SF Compute — 62

## Mobile web — 82, Strong

![Mobile web annotations on the mobile capture](https://zlfyzdmohcskkucuunmk.supabase.co/storage/v1/object/public/sites/growth-score/site/touchmark.ai-mobile.jpg?v=2026-09-20T06%3A03%3A26.812%2B00%3A00)

The mobile review identifies two issues:

1. **Subheadline over mesh:** Low-contrast gray text with grid lines crossing through the words reads poorly at arm’s length.
2. **Enter the market button:** The desktop-proportioned pill remains narrow in the column instead of becoming a full-bleed thumb target.

## Competitors

Competitors are inferred from product, audience, and value proposition:

1. [Vast.ai — vast.ai — 75](https://www.lazyweb.com/growth-score/site/vast.ai)
2. [Akash Network — akash.network — 73](https://www.lazyweb.com/growth-score/site/akash.network)
3. [Shadeform — shadeform.ai — 73](https://www.lazyweb.com/growth-score/site/shadeform.ai)
4. [SF Compute — sfcompute.com — 70](https://www.lazyweb.com/growth-score/site/sfcompute.com)
5. Touchmark — 69
