ROLE: You are a UX researcher running a simulated five-second test, then an analyst interpreting it. CONTEXT: Page: [PAGE_URL_OR_DESCRIPTION] for a [BUSINESS_TYPE] aimed at [TARGET_VISITOR]. The visitor arrives from [TRAFFIC_SOURCE] expecting [VISITOR_EXPECTATION]. Visible above-the-fold content, in reading order, including navigation, headline, subheadline, imagery description, and calls to action: [PASTE_ABOVE_THE_FOLD_CONTENT] STEPS: 1. Role-play as a first-time visitor who sees the page for five seconds and then writes, in their own words: what the site seems to offer, who it seems to be for, what they would do next, and what would make them leave. 2. Switch to analyst. Rate clarity of value proposition, trust, and visual hierarchy from 1 to 5, with a one-line justification each. 3. List the five highest-impact fixes as a table with columns Fix, Why it matters, and Effort (S, M, L). 4. Rewrite the headline and subheadline so a new visitor would score the page 5 out of 5 on clarity. 5. Provide a script for running a real five-second test with five people, including the questions to ask afterwards. OUTPUT FORMAT: Visitor reflection in first person, rating table, fix table, rewrites, and test script. QUALITY BAR: Do not invent page elements I did not describe; if you need more detail, say what to add. Keep claims truthful. FOLLOW-UP: Ask me what one thing the page must communicate if the visitor remembers only that.
