In short

About this test — task, personas, method

Task: To find a suitable solution for an organization's e-learning needs, whether it's custom development, internal training, or a learning platform.

Personas: HR Manager Seeking Custom Compliance E-learning · L&D Specialist Improving E-learning Skills · Skeptical IT Director Evaluating LMS · Small Business Owner New to E-learning

Models: Gemini-2.5 + Claude-Haiku (a finding confirmed by both counts more strongly)

Method: synthetic personas read the page in a real browser and thought aloud; an attention model predicted the first glance.

Field 1 — First glance

Where the eye lands

red = high predicted attention***

23% of the predicted first glance lands on an action · 77% on text/decoration. This page must trigger an action — so the share is worth tracking over time.

Recommendations

Improvement opportunities

Most important first. “Trade-off” = the new friction the fix itself may create.

Add Meaning

1. Provide specific examples of customization options.

Behaviour it should unlock: Enable HR Managers to understand how the e-learning solution can be tailored to their organization's specific needs, reducing uncertainty and increasing confidence to inquire. The cost to the owner for not doing this is losing potential leads who cannot visualize the solution fitting their context.

The consolidated finding explicitly states 'Insufficient detail for assessment' with a focus on 'customization options.' Providing concrete, specific examples of past customizations or potential tailoring options will directly address this lack of clarity and help HR Managers envision the solution's applicability.

Trade-off — new friction the fix itself may create: Adding more text could increase cognitive load if not presented clearly, but the value of transparency and specificity outweighs this potential friction.

Addresses: Insufficient detail for assessment — HR Managers cannot adequately assess the suitability and customization options of t

Add Meaning

2. Illustrate suitability for various organizational types and sizes.

Behaviour it should unlock: Allow HR Managers to quickly identify if the e-learning solution is a good fit for their organization's specific context (e.g., small business vs. large enterprise, specific industry needs). The cost to the owner for not doing this is HR Managers self-disqualifying or spending excessive time trying

The finding highlights a lack of detail regarding the 'suitability' of the solution. By showcasing how the solution benefits different types of organizations (e.g., through case studies, testimonials, or a 'who is this for?' section), HR Managers can more easily assess if it meets their specific requirements.

Trade-off — new friction the fix itself may create: Similar to adding customization details, this could increase page length. However, using concise summaries or clear segmentation (e.g., 'Solutions for small businesses,' 'Enterprise solutions') can mitigate this.

Addresses: Insufficient detail for assessment — HR Managers cannot adequately assess the suitability and customization options of t

Change Meaning

3. Organize solution details with clear assessment criteria.

Behaviour it should unlock: Enable HR Managers to efficiently compare the solution's features and benefits against their organizational requirements, facilitating a structured and informed evaluation process. The cost to the owner for not doing this is frustration and abandonment due to difficulty in extracting and comparing r

Even with added detail, if the information is not structured in an easily digestible format, HR Managers will still struggle with 'assessment.' Reorganizing content with clear headings, comparison tables, or feature lists directly supports the assessment process and addresses the core 'mening' friction.

Trade-off — new friction the fix itself may create: This improvement primarily involves restructuring, so it should not inherently create new friction. It might require effort in content re-mapping.

Addresses: Insufficient detail for assessment — HR Managers cannot adequately assess the suitability and customization options of t

Notes

* First glance (~3 sec): where the eye instinctively lands. Says nothing about comprehension — the think-aloud part measures that.

** Note — the two instruments are coupled here. The ranking next to the heatmap was given to the personas as their first impression, so they sense the page in human order rather than the page's code order. This means that when the think-aloud part mentions one of the elements from that ranking, it is not independent confirmation — the persona was told. Only the first turn is guided by that ranking; everything after it is the persona's own.

*** There is no universal target for how much of the first glance should land on an action — compare with your own page before and after a change.
