GRADE B
BAND 60–86

What their homepage claims

“Collaboration software for software, IT and business teams | Atlassian”

What that means

They sell software that helps teams collaborate and manage work, using Jira and related tools.

Verdict

The page communicates a recognizable product area (team collaboration software) but leans heavily on abstractions and buzzwords; it clearly shows measurable proof from named customers and provides a direct call to action.

What to fix first

Ranked by what each change is worth on the composite — the gap to the next rung of the ladder times the dimension’s weight. Computed from the scores, not written by the model; the model’s sentence under each is the action.

  1. 1Clarity quick win 50 → 65+4.5

    State a concrete product noun (e.g., specific software product) in plain words.

  2. 2Jargon-free quick win 65 → 80+3

    Reduce abstract phrasing and replace with plain, verifiable terms.

  3. 3Call to action quick win 80 → 95+2.3

    Add a direct, low-friction CTA that mirrors the claim (e.g., “Get started with collaboration software”).

All three together: 73 → 83. Every dimension one rung up: 83 (grade A). Ceiling is 95.

Index’s suggestion
“Team collaboration software for software, IT, and business teams using Jira and related tools.”

Built only from facts already on the page — not the company’s words. Shown so the gap between what was written and what could have been written is concrete rather than a number.

5×independently scored

Strongest: Specificity 95. Weakest: Clarity 50. The 5 passes disagreed by 25 points, so treat this score as contested. The band 60–86 is where a re-score of this unchanged page would most likely land: on 42 dry re-scores (12 Oct 2026) the median move was 6 points and one in four moved more than 10. A grade only changes when a new score clears the boundary by 5.

Nothing struck

No word in the headline itself was judged empty, yet jargon-free scores 65: the scorer found generic phrasing further down the page. Contains several abstract terms and marketing buzzwords alongside concrete items.
