CTA

58Fair

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

Valgo
Koop Technologies

Problems

  • no action verb — reads as a label
  • points to content, not the product
  • small footprint vs headline and map
  • competes with 'TOOL' button on demo card

Trust

68Fair

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

Information hierarchy

72Fair

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

Information hierarchy annotations on the desktop capture1234
  1. Dashboard control cluster — Tools, Change region, and two dropdowns pull the eye into secondary interactions before the primary CTA registers.
  2. READ MORE / TOOL row — Two same-weight buttons plus the humanbaselines.com link create a rival CTA zone at the panel's foot.
  3. RESEARCH primary button — The label names a nav section, not an action, and its footprint is smaller than the map panel competing beside it.
  4. Client login link — An extra top-right exit that sits at the same weight as the nav and leads away from conversion.

Value props

76Fair

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

Valgo’s headline sellsAutonomy is taxiing today. We model the risk.Valgo is a public benefit corporation building the risk quantification layer for physical AI.

Working

  • Names the market moment and Valgo's role
  • Live crash-data card proves the product
  • Real numbers: 2.34 per million miles

Could improve

  • Subhead states identity, not outcome
  • No named buyer (fleets, insurers)
  • 'Risk quantification layer' is jargon

Mobile web

76Fair

The phone experience as a first-class citizen.

Mobile web annotations on the mobile capture12
  1. Paired small CTAs — Two half-width desktop-proportioned buttons compete; neither is a dominant, thumb-friendly primary action.
  2. Duplicate hero logo — The VA mark repeats below the header logo, adding a redundant element above the headline.
