CTA

42Poor

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

Get in touch

Harmonic
Theorem Labs
Axiom

Problems

  • no button or in-product action
  • CTA is a small nav text link
  • no CTA near headline or body
  • vague payoff — touch with whom, why

Trust

42Poor

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

Information hierarchy

52Fair

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

Information hierarchy annotations on the desktop capture123
  1. Essay text wall — Four dense same-weight paragraphs fill the fold with no visual beats, forcing linear reading instead of scanning.
  2. Headline styled as body — "Transformative AI is here. Now what?" is set at near-body size and weight, so the core message has no visual rank.
  3. Get in touch link — The only action is a small grey text link in the nav, indistinguishable from "Careers" and outside the scan path.

Value props

58Fair

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

Cajal’s headline undersellsTransformative AI is here. Now what?Every transformative technology needed infrastructure to become exponential. The grid for electricity. CUDA for GPUs. AI needs its own, and its core is formal verification. And we are building that infrastructure.

Working

  • Grid/CUDA analogy grounds the abstraction
  • Real proof points: Jacobian 1939, Fermat
  • Names stakes: AI code outpaces human review

Could improve

  • Headline is a question, names no value
  • Core claim buried three paragraphs deep
  • No visual showing the product working

Mobile web

58Fair

The phone experience as a first-class citizen.

Mobile web annotations on the mobile capture12
  1. Dense essay paragraph — Fifteen lines of unbroken prose fill the fold and cut off mid-sentence.
  2. Uncollapsed header links — Desktop text-link row carried over instead of a collapsed menu with one action.
