GRADE C
BAND 51–61
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.
Describe Penpot's products as open-source design tools for teams that enable UI design, design systems, and AI workflow integrations.
Replace vague terms with concrete nouns drawn from Penpot’s features, like wireframes, prototypes, CSS Grid, and design tokens.
Add measurable outcomes such as time saved in design collaboration or number of teams using Penpot.
All three together: 56 → 67. Every dimension one rung up: 69 (grade C). 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 penpot.app, 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 →
