Questions? We've got answers.

Everything you need to know before diving in.

The Critique analyzes your site the same way a real person would under time pressure. It looks at structure, language, signals of trust, proof, and decision clarity, then evaluates how those elements are likely to be interpreted by different audiences. It is not measuring your talent, your success, or your worth. It is modeling perception based on patterns we see across thousands of real portfolios, hiring decisions, and client behaviors. Because perception is contextual, this audit can be wrong in specific situations. A site might perform well with a niche audience the model cannot fully see, or rely on reputation and relationships that are not visible on the page. In those cases, the critique may feel harsher than your lived experience. We take that seriously. This system improves continuously. We refine the logic based on real outcomes, user feedback, edge cases, and misreads. When people tell us where the audit felt off, that data directly informs how future critiques behave. The best way to use this report is not as a verdict, but as a mirror. If something resonates, investigate it. If something feels wrong, ask why. Both responses are useful. If the audit feels genuinely broken or misfiring, reach out. We cannot offer refunds for instantly delivered reports, but we do review feedback closely and use it to improve the system.
The full audit covers everything: your overall score across 7 key dimensions, first impressions, top 3 priority fixes with step-by-step instructions, complete copy rewrites, buyer persona profiles, pricing perception analysis, and detailed case study teardowns. The complete report is available to everyone, free.
Usually under 2 minutes. We crawl your site, analyze the content, and generate your report. Grab a coffee while you wait.
Audits are cached for 24 hours. If you test the same site again within that window, you'll see the previous results. This gives you time to make changes before re-testing, and helps us keep the service running smoothly for everyone.
Your audit results are stored so you can access them from the History page later. We don't share your data with anyone else. Your portfolio stays yours.
