## Value props — 58/100, Fair

We evaluate whether the title, subtitle, and hero communicate the product’s value.

**.Wave headline:** “A continuous inference engine”

**Subhead:** “Bring your streaming model. We integrate it and run the inference, managing execution, session state, and scheduling.”

### Working

- The subhead names concrete jobs handled.
- The ideal customer profile is clear: teams with streaming models.
- The YC W25 badge adds credibility.

### Could improve

- The headline assumes insider knowledge.
- There are zero numbers or performance proof.
- The hero art decorates rather than demonstrates.

### Value-prop ranking

1. Fireworks AI — 86
2. Replicate — 82
3. Modal — 78
4. Baseten — 68
5. **.Wave — 58**
6. Together AI — 56

## CTA — 62/100, Fair

We evaluate CTA copy, size, verb, and perceived cost.

![.Wave CTA capture](https://zlfyzdmohcskkucuunmk.supabase.co/storage/v1/object/public/sites/growth-score/site/dotwave.ai.jpg?v=2026-09-22T12%3A33%3A53.759%2B00%3A00)

### Problems identified

- The click feels costly because it appears to lead to a sales call.
- “Talk to an engineer” uses 4 words, exceeding the 3-word limit used in this assessment.
- The label has no value payoff.
- The secondary link is the cheaper click.

### CTA ranking

1. Replicate — 82
2. Together AI — 81
3. Baseten — 78
4. Modal — 72
5. Fireworks AI — 63
6. **.Wave — 62**

## Information hierarchy — 84/100, Strong

![Information hierarchy annotations on the desktop capture](https://zlfyzdmohcskkucuunmk.supabase.co/storage/v1/object/public/sites/growth-score/site/dotwave.ai.jpg?v=2026-09-22T12%3A33%3A53.759%2B00%3A00)

1. **Four-link navigation row:** Performance, Engine, Models, and Articles plus two dropdowns create five exits before the primary CTA.
2. **Gray “inference engine” line:** The category-defining half of the headline is low contrast, subordinating the core message.
3. **Explore performance link:** An underlined secondary link sits beside the primary CTA and can draw clicks away from it.
4. **Duplicate navigation CTA:** “Talk to an engineer” repeats at identical weight in the navigation, splitting focus with the hero button.

## Mobile web — 86/100, Strong

![Mobile web annotations on the mobile capture](https://zlfyzdmohcskkucuunmk.supabase.co/storage/v1/object/public/sites/growth-score/site/dotwave.ai-mobile.jpg?v=2026-09-22T12%3A33%3A53.759%2B00%3A00)

1. **Talk to engineer button:** It stops at approximately 60% of the column rather than near full bleed, reducing the thumb target.
2. **Explore performance link:** The thin underlined text link is a small, imprecise tap target.
