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.
Cite concrete features or results (e.g., AI-driven optimization, fraud protection) without generic marketing phrases.
Place the clearest CTA directly under the main value proposition (e.g., ‘Get in touch’ next to the headline).
All three together: 87 → 92. Every dimension one rung up: 92 (grade A). Ceiling is 95.
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.
Five alternative headlines in five angles, a subhead, a call-to-action line, and a line-by-line edit for each of the five dimensions — written only from facts already on checkout.com, gated like a rating (anything with a struck word is dropped, not sold). Delivered on a private page in about a minute.
Five dimensions on one ladder — 5 · 20 · 35 · 50 · 65 · 80 · 95 — weighted clarity 30%, specificity 20%, jargon 20%, proof 15%, call to action 15%. For each: the rung the page matched, the words that drove it, and what would reach the next rung. Full rubric →

Strongest: Clarity 95. Weakest: Jargon-free 65. The 5 passes disagreed by 23 points, so treat this score as contested. The band 75–99 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.
No word in the headline itself was judged empty, yet jargon-free scores 65: the scorer found generic phrasing further down the page. Multiple abstractions and buzz terms (e.g., “performance,” “engine designed to increase conversions”) increase jargon.
