BenchEvalThe read03 / 09
The read

You sell doctors. The page sells software.

Nothing here is a knock on the build. It's well made. It's pointed at the wrong half of the business.

Anyone can run an evaluation. What can't be copied is that two named, practising, liable physicians put their names on the judgement. That is the whole company.

The design doesn't say that anywhere. Every visual decision on the page is borrowed from AI research sites. Mono all-caps labels, FIG. captions, numbered spec rows, hairlines, one green on near-black. It's the register a language model reaches for by default, which is exactly why it's on every eval site right now.

Your own brief says you don't want to look like every other AI startup. This is that look.

And the missing half is medicine. There is no chart, no margin note, no countersignature, no stamp, nothing a clinician would recognise as their own document.

BenchEvalWhat it costs you04 / 09
What it costs you

Four things, in order of damage.

Measured on the live page, 19 August.

BenchEvalThe direction05 / 09
The direction

Design it as a clinical record, not a paper.

Stop presenting findings as research output. Start presenting them as a record somebody is liable for.

Every graded case becomes a chart entry with the same anatomy. The presentation. The model's answer set as a document rather than captured as a picture. The physician's finding in the margin, where a clinician writes. The severity stamped. The second reviewer's countersignature underneath, because the blind double read is the thing you're actually selling.

And your own best line is that the answer that could kill was the right one with the next step missing. So absence gets a mark of its own. The missing step sits struck through at the exact point in the answer where it belonged.

  • One component, three surfaces — the site, the published audit and the client report stop being three design jobs
  • Uncopyable — nobody else in evals can run this language, because nobody else has doctors signing
BenchEvalHow I work06 / 09
How I work

Three rules, and each one costs me something.

Direction before pixels

Named art direction agreed in writing in week one, with the defaults we're banning listed by name. If we can't agree it, we stop there and you've spent a week, not a project.

Nothing is done until it's opened

Every piece ships to a live link I've opened on a phone and a desktop before I call it finished. No screenshots standing in for a working page.

You talk to the person building it

One designer, start to finish. No account manager, no handover. The same arrangement you offer your own buyers.

What I need from you

  • Three to five real graded cases with the physician rationale attached
  • The Standard as written — F1 to F8 and S0 to S3
  • Two hours of a physician to watch how a clinician actually annotates
BenchEvalThree weeks07 / 09
Three weeks

What happens, week by week.

  1. Wk 01
    Direction lockedThe chart-entry component designed properly in two or three variants, tested against a real graded case of yours, one chosen. Type, colour, and the rules for how absence is marked. You approve a direction, not a mood board.
  2. Wk 02
    Homepage rebuilt around itDesktop and mobile. The founders moved to where they belong. Fig. 1 replaced with a real typeset artifact. Severity redrawn as triage rather than taxonomy.
  3. Wk 03
    Proven across three page typesThe Standard page and one full audit page in the same system, so the language holds beyond the homepage. Handover as production-ready front-end plus a short written spec, so anyone can extend it without me.

Not in this phase: brand identity, logo, copywriting beyond what the layout needs, CMS migration, illustration, photography, physician recruitment funnel. Any of those can follow.

BenchEvalThe money08 / 09
Your posted band, three weeks

$13,500

Phase one, fixed

$5,860USD

Deliberately under your own number. Three weeks is enough to prove the direction is right or wrong, and I'd rather you find that out cheaply than commit to thirty hours a week of someone you haven't worked with yet.

Fixed, not hourly, so the number can't move. Half to start, half the day phase one is handed over.

What comes after phase one gets priced after phase one, once we both know how far you want to take it. If the answer is the full site, the shop-window pages and the report system, that's a different conversation and a different number. I'd rather have it with the direction already proven than guess at it now.

BenchEvalNext09 / 09

One question
before anything
gets built.

When someone from a lab lands on the page, are you asking them to trust the protocol or to trust the physicians? Those are two genuinely different homepages, and the answer changes what week two looks like. Twenty minutes would settle it.
