CTA

58Fair

Copy, size, verb, cost-feel — does the primary CTA earn the click?

Standard Signal
Numerai

Problems

  • login gate, not an acquisition action
  • no path for prospective investors
  • 'Login' reads as a wall, not value
  • no action verb delivering payoff

Trust

58Fair

Proof that the product is real, competent, and safe to try.

Value props

72Fair

Title, subtitle, hero — do they sell the product's true value?

Standard Signal’s headline sellsOur AI discovers and trades strategies beyond human insightStandard Signal is the first hedge fund that researches and executes complex trades purely with AI. Our custom models discover and trade on new fundamental truths about the world before humans can.

Working

  • 'First hedge fund purely with AI' is a sharp claim
  • Hero chart shows AI prediction, not decoration
  • YC badge adds instant credibility

Could improve

  • Zero numbers or performance proof anywhere
  • 'Fundamental truths' reads abstract
  • No named outcome for investors

Mobile web

76Fair

The phone experience as a first-class citizen.

Mobile web annotations on the mobile capture12
  1. Side-by-side CTA pair — Two desktop-proportioned buttons split the tap target instead of one full-width primary CTA.
  2. Five-line body paragraph — Long supporting copy pushes both CTAs to the bottom edge of the first viewport.

Information hierarchy

78Fair

Does the design help or inhibit what the page is trying to say?

Information hierarchy annotations on the desktop capture123
  1. Paired CTA buttons — Investor Login and Join our team sit at near-equal weight, splitting the fold's one action between two audiences.
  2. Terminal log texture — Faded low-contrast trade log reads as broken or half-loaded content rather than intentional texture.
  3. Chart monitor cropped — The strongest product proof visual sits mostly below the fold line, so it never supports the headline at first glance.
