Fast drafts are table stakes
By 2026, every serious builder can produce a page quickly. The harder question is whether the page fits the buyer, proof, launch moment, and next action.
Strategy is the missing layer
Founders need a system that can challenge the page direction before it generates output. That means buyer clarity, reference class, proof, and launch verdict.
Data control is part of the buying decision
A builder that stores context should also make that context exportable, scrubbable, and deletable from the product itself.
Launch CEO read
A launch page should make the buyer, promise, proof, and next action obvious. SiteSorted uses this same standard when it turns a brief or reference site into a builder-ready page.
