I am a bit curious, did you find this behavior consistent across models or is it more pronounced with certain ones?
The companies gutting engineering right now are going to realise too late that AI amplifies what you already have. If you fire the people with institutional knowledge and domain expertise, you're left with an AI that generates confident, well-formatted mediocrity. Agree or not?
Hardware you own should be yours to understand.
One nuance I'd add on the "frictionless CTA" point, especially for B2B SaaS: sometimes intentional friction is beneficial. A completely frictionless "Sign Up Free" button can flood your funnel with low-intent users. Asking one qualifying question upfront - company size, primary use case can dramatically improve pipeline quality even if it slightly lowers raw conversion. The metric that matters is qualified signups, not total signups.
On the Interactive Demo pattern - yeah, this isn't just a 2026 trend, it's a structural shift. Buyers are fatigued by gated content and mandatory discovery calls. Letting someone experience the product's "aha moment" before asking for an email changes the entire dynamic, and the companies executing this well consistently outperform on both conversion and downstream retention.
The post also doesn't address what happens post-launch. The best landing pages I've worked with are treated as living documents - heavily instrumented, continuously tested, and iterated based on actual behavior rather than best-practice checklists. A page converting 3% today can hit 7% in six months with disciplined learning from the data.
We kept seeing the same pattern at Mitigata. An SMB would come to us after a failed ISO 27001 or SOC 2 audit. They had the controls in place. They just couldn't prove it — wrong format, missing documentation, nothing mapped correctly.
So we built Gordion.
It takes your existing security posture and maps it automatically to compliance frameworks — ISO 27001, SOC 2, and more. No consultants. No spreadsheets. No six-month implementation cycles.
It's built specifically for SMBs who need to pass audits, satisfy enterprise customers, and meet cyber insurance requirements, without hiring a GRC team.
