## Visual thesis

Light, left-aligned type-led product story with soft geometry and image-led proof.

Caution: Verifiable Compute Platform opens with “Know what runs on a server” in a left-aligned type-led hero. The homepage continues through 20 observed sections, moving from the opening proposition into Verifiable compute, Stronger integrity guarantees, Works everywhere it matters.

## Color

Light surfaces use 7 repeated semantic colors; hierarchy is carried mainly by tonal contrast.

| Token | Value | Role | Usage |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Canvas | `#ebf3ff` | Page canvas | Dominant rendered page background. |
| Surface 1 | `#0f0f0f` | Surface | Repeated container or section fill; relative occurrence score 209. |
| Surface 2 | `#f2f7ff` | Surface | Repeated container or section fill; relative occurrence score 193. |
| Surface 3 | `#ffffff` | Surface | Repeated container or section fill; relative occurrence score 188. |
| Primary text | `#0f0f0f` | Primary text | Observed display foreground with 17.2:1 contrast against the captured canvas. |
| Secondary text | `#232b2b` | Secondary text | Observed reading foreground; measured canvas-reference contrast is 12.9:1. |
| Border | `#0f0f0f` | Border and divider | Most repeated inspectable border color. |

## Typography

A single-family system uses Plus Jakarta Sans across display and reading roles, differentiated by size and weight.

| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| display | Plus Jakarta Sans | 88px | 550 | 92.4px | 0px | normal | none | rgb(15, 15, 15) |
| heading | Plus Jakarta Sans | 76px | 600 | 83.6px | -1.52px | normal | none | rgb(15, 15, 15) |
| body | Plus Jakarta Sans | 20px | 350 | 30px | 0.2px | normal | none | rgb(35, 43, 43) |

- Inventory: 41 images/canvas elements and 0 videos across the analyzed homepage.
- Treatment: fill fitting · square-edged frames

## Motion

- Reduced-motion declaration found: yes

## Responsive behavior

Measured at 390 × 844.

- Desktop navigation reduces from 9 visible actions to 0.
- Hero alignment changes from left to center; mobile heading size is 56px.
- 4 multi-column content regions remain on mobile.
- Horizontal overflow: not detected

## Do

- Pair the observed #ebf3ff canvas with #0f0f0f primary copy before adding secondary surfaces.
- Use Plus Jakarta Sans at 88px/92.4px, weight 550, for the primary display moment.
- Let the left-aligned type-led hero establish hierarchy before secondary content.
- Image led media acts as the page’s primary visual proof rather than decoration.

## Don’t

- Do not mix in arbitrary radii; 8px is the repeated treatment on containers.
- Do not introduce an accent hue that is absent from the captured palette.
- Do not introduce extra type families beyond Plus Jakarta Sans.
- Do not copy transition-all declarations; keep only purposeful transform or opacity motion.

## Evidence

- Hero: `/captures/caution/hero.webp` (960 × 600, scroll 0px) — Hero viewport evidence; animated text state captured.
- Mid-page: `/captures/caution/middle.webp` (960 × 600, scroll 3374px) — Mid-page viewport evidence; animated text state captured.
- Closing: `/captures/caution/closing.webp` (960 × 600, scroll 6527px) — Closing viewport evidence; animated text state captured.
- Mobile: `/captures/caution/mobile.webp` (390 × 844, scroll 0px) — Mobile viewport evidence; animated text state captured.

## Confidence notes

- The hero heading was read from semantic heading markup.
- 12 responsive breakpoint declarations were inspectable.
