**Answer.** Across 263 area-annotated experiments from productivity companies tracked by Lazyweb Research (117 experiments, 28 companies), the hero leads (51 annotations), with NAV, VALUE PROPS, and PRICING tied close behind at 41 each [1]. Productivity is the single most-annotated category and has the broadest company base (28), so its mix is the most representative in the dataset [1][2].

## The finding: a balanced, hero-led mix

Productivity is the largest category cut: 263 annotations across 117 experiments and 28 companies — the widest company base of any category [1][2]. Its top area is HERO (51), followed by a three-way tie among NAV, VALUE PROPS, and PRICING at 41 each [1]. That balance is distinctive: most categories concentrate on two or three areas, but productivity spreads its testing across top-of-funnel, navigation, value props, and price fairly evenly [1].

## Productivity top tested areas

Cells with n>=8 [1]:

| Area | Annotations |
|------|-------------|
| HERO | 51 |
| NAV | 41 |
| VALUE PROPS | 41 |
| PRICING | 41 |

The strong NAV presence (41) is notable — NAV is web-only corpus-wide, so productivity has a substantial web-landing-page testing footprint alongside its paywalls [1][3]. Slack (22), ChatGPT (17), and GitHub (11) are among the corpus's top testers [4].

## How to apply it

For a productivity or SaaS tool, the peer pattern is a broad program: hero, nav de-chroming on landing pages, value props, and pricing all get roughly equal attention [1]. Because NAV and VALUE PROPS are lower-impact areas corpus-wide, lead with the hero and pricing for yield, and treat nav/value-prop tests as steady supporting work [1][3]. The breadth here suggests mature testing cultures rather than single-lever bets [1].

## Caveats

263 annotations from 28 companies is the deepest, broadest cut — the most trustworthy category mix, but still an observed sample [2]. Only n>=8 cells shown [1]. NAV/VALUE PROPS impact figures are model-assigned relative scores, not lift [3].

## The numbers

| Stat | Computed from |
| --- | --- |
| Productivity: 263 annotations, 117 experiments, 28 companies; top areas HERO 51, NAV 41, VALUE PROPS 41, PRICING 41 | category_totals; category_top_area |
| Productivity is the most-annotated category (263) with the broadest company base (28) | category_totals |
| NAV is web-only corpus-wide (all 144 annotations web); VALUE PROPS high-impact share 15.6% | area_NAV; high_impact_share_by_area |
| Slack (22), ChatGPT (17), GitHub (11) among top testers | top_testing_companies |

## Methodology

Universe is 263 area annotations from 28 productivity-categorized companies within 2,160 annotations over 1,126 detected experiments in the ~800 tracked-apps corpus. Broadest category base; areas LLM-annotated from observed before/after screenshots, July 2026; only n>=8 cells reported.
