Value props

Working

  • Names category and audience instantly
  • Hero shows a real graded Mantle card
  • YC badge adds instant credibility

Could improve

  • No numbers: returns, minimums, index count
  • Subhead buried bottom-right on desktop
  • No emotional hook for priced-out collectors

CTA

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

Problems

  • 'waitlist' promises delay, not value
  • small button vs. desktop headline
  • no payoff stated near the CTA

Information hierarchy

76Fair

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

Information hierarchy annotations on the desktop capture1234
  1. Bottom-right subline — Key value-prop sentence stranded in the far corner, disconnected from the headline it supports.
  2. Low-contrast headline — White-gray headline on mid-gray background reads washed out and weakens the core message at a glance.
  3. Nav Join waitlist button — Duplicates the hero CTA at equal visual weight, splitting the single primary action across two targets.
  4. Gray nav pill — How It Works, Indexes, Research offer three exits before the visitor reaches the email form.

Mobile web

78Fair

The phone experience as a first-class citizen.

Mobile web annotations on the mobile capture12
  1. Header Join waitlist — Duplicates the hero's full-width CTA just below, splitting attention and crowding the collapsed nav.
  2. Consent checkbox label — Low-contrast gray text on gray background is barely legible at arm's length.
