## Visual thesis

Light, center-aligned visual-first product story with sharp geometry and image-led proof.

Simulithic — Simulate product changes before you ship opens with “Simulate any experiment. Ship the winner.” in a center-aligned visual-led hero. The homepage continues through 7 observed sections, moving from the opening proposition into Connect once, then test everything, Agents grounded in real user behavior, Anything you would normally A/B test.

## Color

Light surfaces use 8 repeated semantic colors; the primary action carries the strongest interactive emphasis.

| Token | Value | Role | Usage |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Canvas | `#fcfbf9` | Page canvas | Dominant rendered page background. |
| Surface 1 | `#067ad9` | Surface | Repeated container or section fill; relative occurrence score 148. |
| Surface 2 | `#f9f9f9` | Surface | Repeated container or section fill; relative occurrence score 117. |
| Surface 3 | `#8dbbf0` | Surface | Repeated container or section fill; relative occurrence score 24. |
| Primary text | `#fffbf5` | Primary text | Observed display foreground; its canvas-reference contrast is 1.0:1 and may rely on a local hero surface. |
| Secondary text | `#727272` | Secondary text | Observed reading foreground; measured canvas-reference contrast is 4.7:1. |
| Action | `#fffbf5` | Primary action | Fill used by the dominant first-viewport action. |
| Border | `#f0f0f0` | Border and divider | Most repeated inspectable border color. |

## Typography

The observed type system assigns Instrument Serif to display, heading text; Instrument Sans to body, body-small, label text.

| Role | Family | Size | Weight | Line height | Tracking | Style | Features | Color |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| display | Instrument Serif | 80px | 400 | 84.8px | -1.92px | normal | none | rgb(255, 251, 245) |
| heading | Instrument Serif | 56px | 400 | 58.24px | -1.4px | normal | none | rgb(255, 251, 245) |
| body | Instrument Sans | 15.5px | 400 | 26.35px | 0px | normal | none | rgb(114, 114, 114) |
| body-small | Instrument Sans | 14.5px | 400 | 23.925px | 0px | normal | none | rgb(114, 114, 114) |
| label | Instrument Sans | 13.5px | 500 | 20.25px | 0px | normal | none | rgb(255, 251, 245) |

## Spacing and shape

- Base unit: 4px
- Density: sparse
- Maximum content width: 1600px full-width canvas
- Section gap: 40px
- Container padding: 16px
- Common spacing: `16px`, `40px`, `30px`, `26px`, `10px`, `18px`, `8px`, `28px`, `20px`, `12px`
- Corner strategy: Sharp geometry is the dominant shape voice. Separation relies on borders and surface contrast rather than shadow.
- Radii: Containers `1px`, Pills `999px`, Media `0px`, Inputs `0px`, Buttons `0px`
- Borders: `1px solid rgb(240, 240, 240)`, `1px solid rgba(255, 251, 246, 0.549)`
- Shadows: `None observed`

## Layout

- Macrostructure: Visual marquee narrative
- Hero: Visual marquee: imagery carries most of the opening surface
- Grid: 3 columns
- Footer: Utility footer with 5 actions
- Reading flow: The homepage continues through 7 observed sections, moving from the opening proposition into Connect once, then test everything, Agents grounded in real user behavior, Anything you would normally A/B test.
- Section sequence: Connect once, then test everything. → Agents grounded in real user behavior. → Anything you would normally A/B test. → Experiment as fast as you can build. → Connect your data → Build your population → Run the experiment

## Component grammar

### Hero

Visual led, center-aligned opening anchored by “Get early access”.

- Role: Opening proposition
- Observed instances: 1
  - Pattern: `visual-led`
  - Alignment: `center`
  - Heading: `Instrument Serif · 80px / 400`
  - Media: `image-led`

### Navigation

Persistent navigation with 5 visible actions in the desktop opening.

- Role: Global wayfinding
- Observed instances: 1
  - Background: `#f9f9f9`
  - Text: `#262626`
  - Border: `none`
  - Radius: `0px`
  - Padding: `0px 0px 0px 0px`
  - Type: `Instrument Sans · 16px / 400`
  - Position: `sticky`
  - Height: `65px`

### Primary action

“Get early access” is the strongest first-viewport action by semantic intent and visual contrast.

- Role: Conversion
- Observed instances: 1
  - Background: `#fffbf5`
  - Text: `#0a5bb5`
  - Border: `none`
  - Radius: `999px`
  - Padding: `14px 28px 14px 28px`
  - Type: `Instrument Sans · 15px / 500`

### Form control

1 style-matched form control instance was found among 1 candidates; properties describe the dominant observed cluster.

- Role: Input and selection
- Observed instances: 1
  - Text: `#fffbf5`
  - Border: `none`
  - Radius: `0px`
  - Padding: `10px 0px 10px 0px`
  - Type: `Instrument Sans · 15px / 400`
  - Candidate pool: `1`

### Media frame

4 style-matched media elements were found among 6 rendered candidates; fill fitting and 0px are the most repeated treatments.

- Role: Visual proof
- Observed instances: 4
  - Fit: `fill, cover`
  - Ratios: `1.00, 1.66, 3.59`
  - Radius: `0px`
  - Candidate pool: `6`

### Footer

5 visible actions close the page on a transparent surface.

- Role: Closing navigation
- Observed instances: 1
  - Text: `#262626`
  - Border: `none`
  - Radius: `0px`
  - Padding: `0px 0px 0px 0px`
  - Type: `Instrument Sans · 16px / 400`
  - Links: `5`

## Imagery

Image led media acts as the page’s primary visual proof rather than decoration. Multiple visual elements share the first viewport.

- Inventory: 6 images/canvas elements and 0 videos across the analyzed homepage.
- Treatment: fill fitting · square-edged frames

## Motion

4 declared keyframes and 26 active animations were inspectable at capture; observed timing uses 0.28s, 0.35s, 2.8s.

- Libraries: CSS / browser-native or bundled source not identifiable
- Durations: `0.28s`, `0.35s`, `2.8s`, `0.2s`, `1s`
- Easings: `ease`, `ease, ease`, `cubic-bezier(0.22, 1, 0.36, 1)`, `linear`
- Interaction states: hover, active, disabled
- Reduced-motion declaration found: yes

## Responsive behavior

Measured at 390 × 844.

- Desktop navigation reduces from 5 visible actions to 2.
- Hero remains center-aligned; mobile heading size is 46px.
- Observed multi-column desktop regions collapse to a single-column mobile flow.
- Horizontal overflow: not detected

## Do

- Pair the observed #fcfbf9 canvas with #fffbf5 primary copy before adding secondary surfaces.
- Use Instrument Serif at 80px/84.8px, weight 400, for the primary display moment.
- Reserve the strongest first-viewport contrast for “Get early access” within the center-aligned visual-led hero.
- Image led media acts as the page’s primary visual proof rather than decoration.

## Don’t

- Do not mix in arbitrary radii; 1px is the repeated treatment on containers.
- Do not reuse the #fffbf5 action color across decorative elements; keep its interactive emphasis selective.
- Do not introduce extra type families beyond Instrument Serif and Instrument Sans.
- Do not add card shadows; the source separates content without repeated elevation.

## Evidence

- Hero: `/captures/simulithic/hero.webp` (960 × 600, scroll 0px) — Hero viewport evidence; animated text state captured.
- Mid-page: `/captures/simulithic/middle.webp` (960 × 600, scroll 1213px) — Mid-page viewport evidence; animated text state captured.
- Closing: `/captures/simulithic/closing.webp` (960 × 600, scroll 2206px) — Closing viewport evidence; animated text state captured.

## Confidence notes

- The hero heading was read from semantic heading markup.
- 7 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.
