Task: You arrived from a Google search for an LMS. Judge whether Activate LMS could be your platform: understand what it is, what it costs (or how to get the price), and find the path to a demo/contact — but fill in and submit NOTHING. You are done when you have decided whether Activate makes your shortlist.

Field 1 — First glance
Where the eye lands
red = high predicted attention
Prediction for the first glance (~3 sec). Saliency model — where the eye likely lands instinctively. Says nothing about engagement, comprehension or memory (that's the think-aloud part below).
Note — the two instruments are coupled here. The ranking above was given to the personas as their first impression, so they sense the page in human order rather than DOM order. This means that when the think-aloud part mentions one of the elements above, it is not independent confirmation — the persona was told. Only the first turn is anchored; everything after it is the persona's own.
4% of the predicted first glance lands on an action · 96% on text/decoration.
Does the eye land on the action — or on the decoration? Ranked by predicted attention:
Rule of thumb used here: below 15% is flagged red · 15–40% amber · above 40% green (share of the predicted first glance landing on any action).
