Sameness · vs 1 named
How is this calculated?

Your page is half shared.

About half of what your page says, Yokogawa also says. You're less same than 27 of the 48 services sites scored (services avg 59).

No category benchmark matched this set.
Sameness Index on a 0 to 100 scale, from distinctive at 0 to interchangeable at 100. This page scores 52. Yokogawa scores 25. The services avg is 59.

Each named site is scored the same way, against the other 1 in this set, so its tick means the same as your marker. The dashed line is the frozen benchmark average.

  1. Less same than average

    The average services site scores 59; you scored 52.

    You are 7 points less same than the average services site.

  2. Closest overlap: Yokogawa

    Of the 1 site you named, Yokogawa echoes the most of what your page says: 52% of it, weighted by placement. Scored the same way you were, against the rest of the set, Yokogawa's own Sameness Index is 25. Those are different measures: the first is overlap with your page, the second is how same Yokogawa's whole page is.

    Yokogawa is the competitor you sound most like.

  3. Room to own more

    51% of your claim space is ownable: unique, relevant, and hard to copy. 7 of those claims sit in body copy, where few readers reach them.

    51% is ownable, and 7 buried opportunities could help you stand out more.

Do this first

Three changes worth testing first.

Chosen by rule from the comparison with Yokogawa: the shared claim taking your most prominent space, then the claims only you make that sit too low on the page to be read. Each one links to its claim card.

  1. “Security by design”

    Yokogawa all say it too. Buyers may still need it, but shared ground cannot carry your hero — move it lower and give that space to something only you can say.

    Table stakes
    Most of the set says this too.
  2. “Integrated with advanced HMIs such as Inductive Automation's Ignition—or any OPC UA–compliant platform of your choice”

    Nobody in the set says this. It sits in body copy, where few readers reach it — worth testing higher up the page; only buyers can tell you whether it lands.

    Yours alone. Test it higher up.
  3. “We run a structured evaluation, the COPA 500 EvalKit, so your engineering team can validate the platform in your environment”

    A claim that is yours alone, filed in body copy. Try it where it will be read before the shared claims are, and let buyers tell you if it moves them.

What you can own

Claims only you make, that buyers weigh, and that competitors can’t easily copy.

Why this is not 100 minus the Sameness Index

The index is a weighted composite across six categories, including page structure and visuals. This bar is measured on your claims alone, weighted by where each one sits on the page. Different denominators, so the two never add to 100 and are not meant to.

How this was calculated

Sameness measures how much your claims overlap with the sites compared. It does not measure message quality or whether buyers prefer you.

AI-analyzed: an AI read each page on its own and grouped the claims that say the same thing. No score here was written by a model — every number is computed from those groupings in our own code, with the weights below.

How the score is built
The six category scores, their weights, and what a high score in each one means
CategoryWeightYoursWhat a high score means
Messaging
Category framing, who it is for, and the outcome promised
30%15The most expensive kind of sameness. A buyer cannot tell what job you do that the others do not.
Claims
Attribute and benefit claims — speed, ease, quality, ROI
30%100Every shared claim is a line already read on another tab. Cut the ones nobody owns and spend the space on something they cannot.
Features
Capabilities and functions the page lists
15%33Expected in a mature category, and the least alarming of the six. Feature parity is normal; leading with it is the mistake.
Proof
The kinds of evidence offered: customer logos, numbers, testimonials, case studies, badges
10%50Same kinds of proof as everyone means the proof stops working as proof. It is scored on the kind of evidence, not on which customers are named.
Structure
Section order, navigation, CTA language and placement
10%n/aThe generic SaaS template — hero, logos, three-feature grid, testimonial, CTA. Familiar is not the same as memorable.
Visual
Palette family, imagery style, layout patterns
5%n/aWeighted lowest on purpose: buyers rarely decide on this. Worth knowing, rarely worth fixing first.

Each site was read on its own first, with no knowledge of the others, so your page gets no benefit of the doubt a competitor’s does not. A category nothing could be measured for drops out and the rest are re-weighted, rather than counted as zero.

What it cannot tell you

The index can find where two pages converge. It cannot say whether a buyer would notice, or which of your reasons to buy actually land. A single check also moves several points between runs, so read the band and the ranking, not the last digit.

Your highest-impact changes

  1. 1
    Table stakesYour hero copy says “Security by design”.

    Yokogawa all say it too. Buyers may still need it, but shared ground cannot carry your hero — move it lower and give that space to something only you can say.

  2. 2
    Table stakesYour section copy says “Advanced control through analytics and AI”.

    Keep the fact, lose the position: yokogawa all say it too, and your section is spending its first impression on the same territory as theirs.

  3. 3
    Table stakesYour section copy says “Open Automation touches everyone. We can help you make the right decisions.”.

    This is the set's common ground — Yokogawa all say it too. It will not set you apart wherever it sits, and in the section it costs you the one place a distinctive claim would be read.

  4. 4
    Table stakesYour section copy says “CPLANE was built to be implemented by SI partners. We do not go around you. We work alongside you.”.

    A buyer with three tabs open reads a version of this on every one of them. Say it further down for the readers who need it; the section should carry a claim they will only find here.

  5. 5
    Table stakesYour section copy says “Cybersecurity built to IEC 62443 standards, reducing your compliance and operational risk”.

    True of you and true of them: Yokogawa all say it too. That is why it decides nothing, and why the section is the wrong place to spend it.

  6. 6
    Table stakesYour section copy says “A long-term partner who is invested in your success beyond the initial deployment”.

    In the section: Yokogawa all say it too. Buyers may still need it, but shared ground cannot carry your section — move it lower and give that space to something only you can say.
