## Visual thesis

Light, center-aligned stacked product story with soft geometry and image-led proof.

Qlo \| AI for Commercial Underwriting opens with “One instruction in Outlook replaces all the handoffs.” in a center-aligned stacked hero. The homepage continues through 3 observed sections, moving from the opening proposition into AI agents that run underwriting operations, Your team and the AI agents share the same underwriting workspace, Run your own book on Qlo today.

## Color

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

| Token | Value | Role | Usage |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Canvas | `#ffffff` | Page canvas | Dominant rendered page background. |
| Surface 1 | `#f8fafc` | Surface | Repeated container or section fill; relative occurrence score 38. |
| Surface 2 | `#f5f5f5` | Surface | Repeated container or section fill; relative occurrence score 8. |
| Surface 3 | `rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.851)` | Surface | Repeated container or section fill; relative occurrence score 5. |
| Primary text | `#000000` | Primary text | Observed display foreground with 21.0:1 contrast against the captured canvas. |
| Secondary text | `#62748e` | Secondary text | Observed reading foreground; measured canvas-reference contrast is 4.8:1. |
| Border | `#e2e8f0` | Border and divider | Most repeated inspectable border color. |

## Typography

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

| Role | Family | Size | Weight | Line height | Tracking | Style | Features | Color |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| display | Inter | 64px | 500 | 66.56px | -2.88px | normal | none | rgb(0, 0, 0) |
| heading | Inter | 52px | 500 | 56.16px | -1.82px | normal | none | rgb(0, 0, 0) |
| body | Inter | 18px | 400 | 28px | -0.18px | normal | none | rgb(98, 116, 142) |
| body-small | Inter | 14px | 500 | 21.7px | 0px | normal | none | rgb(98, 116, 142) |
| label | Inter | 12px | 500 | normal | 0px | normal | none | rgb(98, 116, 142) |

- Inventory: 12 images/canvas elements and 0 videos across the analyzed homepage.
- Treatment: fill fitting · square-edged frames

- Interaction states: hover, focus, active, disabled
- Reduced-motion declaration found: yes

## Responsive behavior

Measured at 390 × 844.

- Desktop navigation reduces from 8 visible actions to 3.
- Hero remains center-aligned; mobile heading size is 35.1px.
- Observed multi-column desktop regions collapse to a single-column mobile flow.
- Horizontal overflow: not detected

## Do

- Pair the observed #ffffff canvas with #000000 primary copy before adding secondary surfaces.
- Use Inter at 64px/66.56px, weight 500, for the primary display moment.
- Let the center-aligned stacked 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; 9999px is the repeated treatment on pills.
- Do not introduce an accent hue that is absent from the captured palette.
- Do not introduce extra type families beyond Inter.
- Do not spread the observed shadow treatment across every container; keep elevation selective.

## Evidence

- Hero: `/captures/qlo/hero.webp` (960 × 600, scroll 0px) — Hero viewport evidence; animated text state captured.
- Mid-page: `/captures/qlo/middle.webp` (960 × 600, scroll 4662px) — Mid-page viewport evidence; animated text state captured.
- Closing: `/captures/qlo/closing.webp` (960 × 600, scroll 9103px) — Closing viewport evidence; animated text state captured.
- Mobile: `/captures/qlo/mobile.webp` (390 × 844, scroll 0px) — Mobile viewport evidence; animated text state captured.

## Confidence notes

- The hero heading was read from semantic heading markup.
- 6 responsive breakpoint declarations were inspectable.
- 5 stylesheets were inspectable; 1 cross-origin stylesheet was unavailable to rule inspection.
- Computed styles describe the captured render; source design tokens and proprietary font files were not copied.
