Prodigy Research — Frontier AI for quantitative finance opens with “Frontier AI for quantitative finance.” in a center-aligned type-led hero. The homepage continues through 5 observed sections, moving from the opening proposition into Michael Wang Yuhua Wang, SoTA in live trading, Up +140% over our YC batch on delta-neutral strategies. ## Color Light surfaces use 8 repeated semantic colors; the primary action carries the strongest interactive emphasis. | Token | Value | Role | Usage | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Canvas | `#fbfaf7` | Page canvas | Dominant rendered page background. | | Surface 1 | `rgba(245, 240, 235, 0.4)` | Surface | Repeated container or section fill; relative occurrence score 24. | | Surface 2 | `rgba(244, 241, 235, 0.702)` | Surface | Repeated container or section fill; relative occurrence score 3. | | Surface 3 | `#0f0e0c` | Surface | Repeated container or section fill; relative occurrence score 2. | | Primary text | `#0f0e0c` | Primary text | Observed display foreground with 18.5:1 contrast against the captured canvas. | | Secondary text | `#4a4742` | Secondary text | Observed reading foreground; measured canvas-reference contrast is 8.9:1. | | Action | `#0f0e0c` | Primary action | Fill used by the dominant first-viewport action. | | Border | `#e8e5dd` | Border and divider | Most repeated inspectable border color. | ## Typography The observed type system assigns Instrument Serif to display, heading text; Inter to body, body-small, label text. | Role | Family | Size | Weight | Line height | Tracking | Style | Features | Color | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | display | Instrument Serif | 84px | 400 | 85.68px | -0.84px | normal | none | rgb(15, 14, 12) | | heading | Instrument Serif | 64px | 400 | 64px | -0.64px | normal | none | rgb(15, 14, 12) | | body | Inter | 16.5px | 400 | 26.4px | 0px | normal | none | rgb(74, 71, 66) | | body-small | Inter | 11.5px | 400 | 17.825px | 0px | normal | none | rgba(107, 104, 97, 0.800) | | label | Inter | 13.5px | 500 | 20.25px | 0px | normal | none | rgb(15, 14, 12) | ## Spacing and shape - Base unit: 8px - Density: sparse - Maximum content width: 1600px full-width canvas - Section gap: 32px - Container padding: 32px - Common spacing: `32px`, `64px`, `8px`, `24px`, `12px`, `16px`, `48px`, `10px`, `128px`, `40px` - Corner strategy: Mixed geometry is the dominant shape voice. Separation relies on borders and surface contrast rather than shadow. - Radii: Pills `9999px`, Containers `16px`, Media `0px`, Buttons `0px` - Borders: `1px solid rgb(232, 229, 221)`, `1px solid rgb(214, 210, 200)` - Shadows: `None observed` ## Layout - Macrostructure: Editorial product narrative - Hero: Type-led hero: display copy is the primary graphic - Grid: 2 columns - Footer: Utility footer with 3 actions - Reading flow: The homepage continues through 5 observed sections, moving from the opening proposition into Michael Wang Yuhua Wang, SoTA in live trading, Up +140% over our YC batch on delta-neutral strategies. - Section sequence: Michael Wang Yuhua Wang → SoTA in live trading. → Up +140% over our YC batch on delta-neutral strategies. → Going after the largest TAM on Earth. → Want to learn more?

A focused visual anchors the first viewport. - Inventory: 3 images/canvas elements and 0 videos across the analyzed homepage. - Treatment: fill fitting · square-edged frames ## Motion 2 declared keyframes and 4 active animations were inspectable at capture; observed timing uses 0.7s, 700ms. - Libraries: CSS / browser-native or bundled source not identifiable - Durations: `0.7s`, `700ms` - Easings: `cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.2, 1)`, `linear` - Interaction states: hover, focus, disabled - Reduced-motion declaration found: yes ## Responsive behavior Measured at 390 × 844. - The same 2 visible navigation actions remain at mobile width. - Hero remains center-aligned; mobile heading size is 38px. - Observed multi-column desktop regions collapse to a single-column mobile flow. - Horizontal overflow: not detected ## Do - Pair the observed #fbfaf7 canvas with #0f0e0c primary copy before adding secondary surfaces. - Use Instrument Serif at 84px/85.68px, weight 400, for the primary display moment. - Reserve the strongest first-viewport contrast for “Get in touch” within the center-aligned type-led hero. - Image led media acts as the page’s primary visual proof rather than decoration. ## Don’t - Do not mix in arbitrary radii; 9999px is the repeated treatment on pills. - Do not reuse the #0f0e0c action color across decorative elements; keep its interactive emphasis selective. - Do not introduce extra type families beyond Instrument Serif and Inter. - Do not add card shadows; the source separates content without repeated elevation. ## Evidence - Hero: `/captures/prodigy-research/hero.webp` (960 × 600, scroll 0px) — Visible section: Frontier AI for quantitative finance. · Michael Wang Yuhua Wang - Mid-page: `/captures/prodigy-research/middle.webp` (960 × 600, scroll 944px) — Visible section: SoTA in live trading. · Up +140% over our YC batch on delta-neutral strategies. - Closing: `/captures/prodigy-research/closing.webp` (960 × 600, scroll 1667px) — Visible section: Going after the largest TAM on Earth. · Want to learn more? Let’s talk. - Mobile: `/captures/prodigy-research/mobile.webp` (390 × 844, scroll 0px) — Visible section: Frontier AI for quantitative finance. · Michael Wang ## Confidence notes - The hero heading was read from semantic heading markup. - 3 responsive breakpoint declarations were inspectable. - 1 stylesheet was inspectable; 0 cross-origin stylesheets were unavailable to rule inspection. - Computed styles describe the captured render; source design tokens and proprietary font files were not copied.
