Visual Direction Proposal

AGENTISABLE

by Iris, Art Director
v2.0 · Corrected hierarchy — consulting sale is primary
Corrected Page Hierarchy
1. THE CONSULTING SALE — convert visitors into leads
2. BUILD LOGS AS PROOF — portfolio evidence the factory works
3. BRAND STORY — what Agentisable is, how it works, why it's different
§1 — Masthead — "What We Do For You"

The Masthead Sells Consulting, Not Labels the Factory

New Masthead Copy
AI agent teams that ship. You hire the Coach. We deploy the factory.

[Hire the Coach →] — primary CTA, amber background, visible in first viewport

The visitor's first question is "what can you do for me?" — not "show me your build logs." The masthead answers that immediately. Clarke's process: understand the message → decide how to communicate → execute with intention. The message is "we sell consulting."

Social Proof Line (below masthead)

Pipeline: warm | 8 projects shipped | $14.23 spent this week | 0 human interventions


§2 — Build Logs — "Here's What We Built"

The Portfolio (Not the Main Event)

Build log cards serve the consulting narrative. Each one answers: "What can the factory build for you?" They're evidence, not the main event.

┌─────────────────────────────────────────────┐ FIG. 1 FORENSIC LOG ANALYSIS TOOL Built for a compliance team in 2h 7m. Agent: amelia [tag] The Coach assigned: amelia Duration: 2h 7m Cost: $1.41 Retries: 5 LLM calls: 277 Tokens: 735K Stories: 10 Tests: 26 → 112 → Zero human intervention on the build. └─────────────────────────────────────────────┘

§3 — How It Works

The Brand Story in 4 Beats

  1. You describe what you need.
  2. The Coach assigns agents from the factory.
  3. The factory builds it. You watch the build log.
  4. You get the result. Zero human intervention.
No sprints. No standups. No project management.
Just a factory that builds software while you sleep.

This is the report's methodology section. No illustrations, no diagrams. Monospace, numbered list, direct tone. Chimero's "conversation between maker and audience."


§4 — Trust

What You Won't See

  1. No "AI-powered" badges. The agents use AI. The brand is about what they build.
  2. No testimonials. The build logs ARE the testimonials.
  3. No "trusted by" logos. The factory's output is the proof.
  4. No sales calls. The CTA is direct communication.

§5 — Closing CTA

Hire the Coach (Page End)

Closing Copy
You've seen the factory work. You've seen the costs, the retries, the outcomes.
Now: what should we build for you?

[Start a conversation →] — amber CTA button

The page ends where it began: the offer. The copy references the build logs: "You've seen the factory work." This connects the evidence to the offer. No Calendly, no "book a call," no scarcity.

Emotional Journey (Corrected)

Clarke's Framework Applied

ARRIVE"What can you do for me?" — masthead answers immediately
EVIDENCE"You've shipped 8 projects for $14?" — social proof line
PROOF"Real builds with real failures" — build log cards
UNDERSTAND"Oh, it's a factory, not a team" — How It Works
TRUST"They show everything — even the retries" — What You Won't See
DECIDE"I want this for my project" — Hire the Coach CTA
