CTA

30Poor

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

Shield AI
Palladyne AI

Problems

  • no CTA anywhere in either fold
  • desktop fold is a preloader screen
  • only action is 'MENU' nav toggle
  • hero headline has no next step

Information hierarchy

34Poor

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

Information hierarchy annotations on the desktop capture12
  1. 'Please wait' copy — The only message in the fold instructs visitors to wait instead of communicating value or an action.
  2. 100% progress stuck — Loader reads [ 100% ] yet still occupies the viewport, signaling a broken or stalled experience.

Trust

38Poor

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

Trust read
Seeing SystemsNo visible trust signal identified.
Anduril Industriesimplicit context Anduril Industries may benefit from pre-existing familiarity among its target audience.
Shield AIimplicit context Shield AI may benefit from pre-existing familiarity among its target audience.
Palladyne AISpecific deployment copy: "in GPS-denied airspace, on contested battlefields, and on factory floors"

Value props

42Poor

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

Seeing Systems’s headline vagueDesigning the next era of advanced defence technology.

Working

  • Bold, confident sector positioning
  • Terminal copy hints at real products
  • "British-built" signals provenance

Could improve

  • Headline fits any defence company
  • No subhead adds specifics
  • Desktop fold is only a loader

Mobile web

58Fair

The phone experience as a first-class citizen.

Mobile web annotations on the mobile capture12
  1. Headline pinned low — "Designing the next era…" sits at the very bottom edge and is partially cut off against the busy video.
  2. Ruler tick strip — Decorative tick marks below the header read as a control but do nothing, adding noise to the fold.
