  • mobile fold has hamburger only
  • headline promise has no next step

Mobile web

52Fair

The phone experience as a first-class citizen.

Mobile web annotations on the mobile capture12
  1. Hero pipeline illustration — Oversized desktop asset dominates the fold with no CTA anywhere in the first viewport.
  2. Clipped diagram edge — The arrow and '5' label bleed off the right edge — the graphic was never resized for phone widths.

Information hierarchy

58Fair

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

Information hierarchy annotations on the desktop capture12
  1. Blog/Careers nav chips — The only clickable elements above the fold are exits; they inherit all attention because nothing competes with them.
  2. Fig. diagram — The numbered technical illustration dominates the fold but its callouts (1–5) reference nothing visible, communicating process without payoff.

Value props

68Fair

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

Polymath’s headline sellsSimulation environments for training & evaluating autonomous agents.

Working

  • Names the exact category, zero buzzwords
  • Diagram shows real apps feeding a pipeline
  • Body copy states the long-horizon mission

Could improve

  • No subhead — hero carries one sentence
  • Zero numbers or proof points in fold
  • Outcome for buyers never stated up top
