The Trust Equation

Four neuroscience-backed tests to measure how much trust your brand earns in the first 50 milliseconds. Each test isolates a different component of visual trust.

3.1 The Stranger Test

Upload a screenshot of your website homepage. We'll show it for 10 seconds, then hide it and ask three questions — the same questions a stranger's brain asks in milliseconds.

3.2 The Consistency Audit

Upload 3-5 screenshots from different brand touchpoints — your website, Instagram, packaging, emails, or ads. We'll check if your visual identity holds together.

Your brand is highly consistent across touchpoints.

Consistent branding increases revenue by 33%.

3.3 The Competitor Comparison

Upload screenshots of your website and 3 competitors. We'll blur them so only colours, shapes, and layout are visible — then you'll rank them by perceived price.

3.4 The Fluency Check

How quickly can someone navigate to your most important product page? We'll time it. Every extra second costs trust.

We'll open your site in a new tab and start a timer. Navigate to your most important product page, then come back and press Stop.
