Your verdict

81
Sameness · vs 4 named
How is this calculated?

Your page is interchangeable.

Put your page next to Harvey and a buyer would struggle to tell them apart. You're the most same of the 9 E-signature sites scored (category avg 63).

Benchmarked against E-signature (inferred from the competitors you named).
Sameness Index on a 0 to 100 scale, from distinctive at 0 to interchangeable at 100. This page scores 81. Sirion scores 60. Icertis scores 68. Harvey scores 80. Docusign scores 41. The category avg is 63.

Each named site is scored the same way, against the other 4 in this set, so its tick means the same as your marker. The dashed line is the frozen benchmark average.

  1. More same than average

    The average E-signature category leader scores 63; you scored 81.

    You are 18 points more same than the average E-signature category leader.

  2. Closest overlap: Harvey

    Of the 4 sites you named, Harvey echoes the most of what your page says. Scored the same way against the rest of the set, Harvey sits at 80.

    Harvey is the competitor you sound most like.

  3. Room to own more

    5% of your claim space is ownable: unique, relevant, and hard to copy.

    5% is ownable, and every claim you own already leads.

Do this first

Three changes worth testing first.

Chosen by rule from the comparison with Sirion, Icertis, Harvey and Docusign: 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. Built for speed

    Sirion, Icertis, Harvey and Docusign 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. Keep Contracts Moving, and Business Growing

    Keep the fact, lose the position: sirion, Icertis, Harvey and Docusign all say it too, and your hero is spending its first impression on the same territory as theirs.

    Table stakes
    Most of the set says this too.

Try these changes, then test them with real buyers.

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.

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.

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
CategoryWeightYoursWhat a high score means
Messaging
Category framing, who it is for, and the outcome promised
30%95The 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%75Every 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%89Expected 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%56Same 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%55Weighted 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 “Built for speed”.

    Sirion, Icertis, Harvey and Docusign 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 hero copy says “Keep Contracts Moving, and Business Growing”.

    Keep the fact, lose the position: sirion, Icertis, Harvey and Docusign all say it too, and your hero is spending its first impression on the same territory as theirs.

  3. 3
    Table stakesYour hero copy says “2K+ customers”.

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

  4. 4
    Table stakesYour hero copy says “Heineken cut sales contract cycle times by roughly 50% in Brazil - and then scaled to 40 operating countries”.

    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. 5
    Table stakesYour hero copy says “The AI CLM that unlocks intelligence from every contract”.

    True of you and true of them: Sirion, Icertis, Harvey and Docusign all say it too. That is why it decides nothing, and why the hero is the wrong place to spend it.

  6. 6
    Table stakesYour section copy says “Control all contracts in one place”.

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

  7. 7

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

This report can tell you where your messaging overlaps. It cannot tell you whether a buyer would care, or which of your reasons to buy actually land. Put the page in front of real B2B buyers in your target market and ask them.
