Do this first

Three changes worth testing first.

Chosen by rule from the comparison with Legora, Zip, Ramp and GC AI: 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.

“Heineken cut sales contract cycle times by roughly 50% in Brazil - and then scaled to 40 operating countries”
Legora, Zip, Ramp and GC AI 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.
“Keep Contracts Moving, and Business Growing”
Keep the fact, lose the position: legora, Zip, Ramp and GC AI all say it too, and your hero is spending its first impression on the same territory as theirs.

This measures overlap. Whether buyers notice is a different question, and only they can answer it.

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.

Already leading with · 0

Nothing owned sits at hero or section level yet.

Buried in body copy · 0

Nothing buried. Every claim you own is already above body copy.

Where you blend in

Territory you spend prominent space on that the set also occupies. Not every line is one to delete — the question is whether it has earned the space, or whether something only you can say should be there instead.

Claim-by-claim evidence

What the columns mean

Claim: The grouped claim, then your exact line beneath it.
Type: What kind of claim it is: category, segment, outcome, capability, quality or proof.
Placement: Where it sits on your page: hero, section or body copy. Hero claims weigh most in the index.
Same claim: Share of the competitors making this exact claim. Drives ownership and ownable share.
Same territory: Share of the competitors with any claim in the same buyer-facing territory. This is what the index is scored on.
Sayability: Whether a competitor could truthfully make the same claim: anyone could, copyable with effort, or hard to copy.
Relevant: Whether buyers decide on this. A unique claim nobody buys on is not ownable.
Ownership: Commodity: 60% or more of the set says it. Contested: 20–59%. Unique: under 20%, owned when it is also hard to copy.

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
Category	Weight	Yours	What a high score means
Messaging Category framing, who it is for, and the outcome promised	30%	92	The 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%	67	Every 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%	75	Expected 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%	34	Same 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/a	The 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%	33	Weighted 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
Table stakesYour hero copy says “Heineken cut sales contract cycle times by roughly 50% in Brazil - and then scaled to 40 operating countries”.
Legora, Zip, Ramp and GC AI 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.

3

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 hero should carry a claim they will only find here.
5

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