1. **Contact Us bar:** The primary CTA sits far below the first viewport and appears as a thin bar rather than a tappable button.
2. **Overlapping ticker text:** “Variable mission profiles” and “Payload Delivery” collide over the boat in low-contrast text, looking like a layout bug.

## CTA — 58, Fair

The CTA review considers copy, size, verb, and the visitor’s perceived cost of clicking. Splash Inc.’s primary CTA is **“CONTACT US.”** The report identifies four problems:

- It has no action verb and reads as a label.
- The click feels costly rather than valuable.
- It provides no payoff or headline echo.
- It is styled as a bar, giving it weak button affordance.

The CTA ranking is Seasats **72**, Splash Inc. **58**, Saronic Technologies **58**, Ocius Technology **44**, Saildrone **42**, and Open Ocean Robotics **30**. [Rewrite this CTA](https://www.lazyweb.com/backlog?site=splash9.com#opt-cta-writing) for primary and secondary CTA options grounded in our offer and visitor objections.

## Value props — 58, Fair

Our landing-page headline is **“Maritime Autonomy Delivered”**, with the subhead **“Variable mission profiles.”** The report rates the headline as vague.

### Working

- The hero shows a real USV in action.
- The mission ticker hints at use cases.
- “Delivered” implies proven rather than vaporware.

### Could improve

- No numbers or specifications appear anywhere.
- The subhead is a bare feature fragment.
- The copy assumes the reader already knows the product.

The Value props ranking is Saildrone **72**, Saronic Technologies **68**, Ocius Technology **68**, Seasats **62**, Open Ocean Robotics **62**, and Splash Inc. **58**.

## Information hierarchy — 72, Fair

![Information hierarchy annotations on the Splash Inc. desktop capture](https://zlfyzdmohcskkucuunmk.supabase.co/storage/v1/object/public/sites/growth-score/site/splash9.com.jpg?v=2026-09-22T21%3A12%3A55.286%2B00%3A00)

1. **Contact Us bar:** The primary CTA is a low-key text label pinned at the very bottom edge, outside the natural scan path and easy to read as a footer.
2. **Mission profiles ticker:** Category words such as “Mine Clearing” and “Coastal Defense” are near-transparent over the water, making the key use-case list illegible.
3. **Variable mission profiles:** The subheadline is small, low-contrast gray text floating mid-image and disconnected from the headline it should support.
