What will go wrong on launch day

Fatal · they leave before they understandCostly · they understand and still leaveDrag · it works, and could work better
  1. FatalProof
    Potential problem
    “"Used by professionals at" followed by logos of Linear, Notion, Slack, and GitHub”

    A visitor recognizes these as the tools being integrated, not the customers, and concludes the founder is being deceptive.

    Proposalyou decide
    ARemove the integration logos from the social proof section and replace them with three real company names or user testimonials.
  2. FatalClarity
    Potential problem
    “"The intelligence layer for teams"”

    A stranger does not know if this is a database, a middleware, or a search tool and leaves before scrolling.

    Proposalyou decide
    AReplace the headline with a plain-English category, e.g., "The AI-powered search engine for your company's internal docs."
  3. CostlyOffer
    Potential problem
    “no pricing anywhere on the page”

    A professional buyer assumes the product is either too expensive for them or lacks a professional tier and doesn't sign up.

    Proposalyou decide
    AAdd a pricing section with at least two tiers (e.g., Free and Pro) and the specific cost per user/month.
  4. CostlyClarity
    Potential problem
    “"Search across sources, ask questions, and take action with AI agents"”

    The visitor is overwhelmed by three different value propositions and fails to understand the primary purpose of the tool.

    Proposalyou decide
    APick the single most valuable outcome (e.g., instant answers with citations) and make it the sole focus of the first viewport.
  5. DragAudience
    Potential problem
    “"for teams"”

    The target buyer doesn't feel the product is built for their specific scale or industry and views it as generic software.

    Proposalyou decide
    AReplace "for teams" with a specific target, e.g., "for engineering and ops teams at scaling startups."

Don’t break these

The department-specific sections (Engineering, Marketing, etc.) use high-quality, relatable pain points.
The product screenshots clearly demonstrate the 'citation' feature, which solves the hallucination objection.
