Value props

.Wave’s headline undersells
A continuous inference engine
Bring your streaming model. We integrate it and run the inference, managing execution, session state, and scheduling.
Working
- Subhead names concrete jobs handled
- Clear ICP: teams with streaming models
- YC W25 badge adds credibility
Could improve
- Headline assumes insider knowledge
- Zero numbers or performance proof
- Hero art decorates, not demonstrates
CTA
62FairCopy, size, verb, cost-feel — does the primary CTA earn the click?
Problems
- click feels costly — a sales call
- 4 words, over the 3-word limit
- no value payoff in the label
- secondary link is the cheaper click
Information hierarchy
84StrongDoes the design help or inhibit what the page is trying to say?
1234- Four-link nav row — Performance, Engine, Models, Articles plus two dropdowns offer five exits before the primary CTA.
- Gray 'inference engine' line — The category-defining half of the headline is rendered in low-contrast gray, subordinating the core message.
- Explore performance link — Underlined secondary link sits directly beside the primary CTA and siphons clicks away from it.
- Duplicate nav CTA — 'Talk to an engineer' repeats at identical weight in the nav, splitting focus with the hero button.
Mobile web
86StrongThe phone experience as a first-class citizen.
12- Talk to engineer button — Stops at ~60% of the column instead of near-full-bleed, shrinking the thumb target.
- Explore performance link — Thin underlined text link is a small, imprecise tap target for the secondary action.
