## Value propositions — 68/100, Fair

We assess whether the title, subtitle, and hero sell the product’s true value.

### Existing message

- **Headline:** “Private is the New Public”
- **Subhead:** “THE MOST VALUABLE COMPANIES HAVEN'T GONE PUBLIC. ALT-X LETS YOU TRADE ON THEM BEFORE THEY DO.”

### Working

- The subhead names the real outcome: trade pre-IPO.
- The message taps FOMO around missing top companies.
- The category thesis is memorable and confident.

### Could improve

- The headline is a slogan, not a claim.
- It contains zero numbers, names, or proof points.
- The grid backdrop decorates but communicates nothing.

### Value-proposition ranking

1. Nasdaq Private Market — 72
2. Augment — 72
3. Alt-X — 68
4. Forge Global — 68
5. EquityZen — 68
6. Hiive — 62

## Mobile web — 76/100, Fair

We assess the phone experience as a first-class experience.

1. **TRY DEMO button:** A desktop-proportioned button floats small in the phone column instead of appearing near full-bleed.
2. **Monospace subhead block:** Wide letter-spacing forces four cramped wrapped lines that slow reading.
3. **Logo-only header:** The desktop CONTACT and EXCEL PLUGIN links disappear without a hamburger replacement.

## CTA — 78/100, Fair

We assess the primary CTA’s copy, size, verb, and cost-feel.

![Alt-X CTA capture](https://zlfyzdmohcskkucuunmk.supabase.co/storage/v1/object/public/sites/growth-score/site/alt-x.co.jpg?v=2026-09-20T21%3A57%3A46.268%2B00%3A00)

- **CTA label:** TRY DEMO
- **Problems identified:**
  - It names the mechanism rather than the payoff.
  - It does not echo the headline.
  - “Demo” hints at a non-real product.

### CTA ranking

1. Alt-X — 78
2. Forge Global — 76
3. EquityZen — 72
4. Hiive — 72
5. Augment — 70
6. Nasdaq Private Market — 68

[Rewrite this CTA](https://www.lazyweb.com/backlog?site=alt-x.co#opt-cta-writing) to generate primary and secondary CTA options grounded in Alt-X’s offer and visitor objections.

## Information hierarchy — 84/100, Strong

We assess whether the design helps or inhibits the intended message.

![Information hierarchy annotations on the Alt-X desktop capture](https://zlfyzdmohcskkucuunmk.supabase.co/storage/v1/object/public/sites/growth-score/site/alt-x.co.jpg?v=2026-09-20T21%3A57%3A46.268%2B00%3A00)

1. **EXCEL PLUGIN navigation link:** It uses an accent color like the CTA, pulling attention away from TRY DEMO as a competing highlight.
2. **TRY DEMO button:** Its small footprint and dark monospace label on cyan make the only conversion action quieter than the headline.
