Difference

Not another opinion in the room.

Honest comparison of what typically shows up in a design review — and what Headwaze actually scores.

Typical review

Taste & consensus

  • Opinions from the room
  • Sometimes a brief or checklist
  • No scored behavioural criteria
  • No See → Buy funnel scoreboard
  • Hard to compare versions objectively
Attention / research tools

Where eyes go

  • Heatmaps / eye-tracking / panels
  • Useful signal on attention
  • Not a scored commercial design framework
  • Not built as a defendable review report
  • Often slower / heavier to run
Headwaze

Scored by science

  • 1,803 behavioural science criteria · 15 categories
  • See → Appeal → Engage → Buy funnel scores
  • Version compare so the rewrite is measurable
  • Defendable behavioural framework for the review
  • 3 free credits when you sign in

Not a competitor teardown. Attention tools remain useful — Headwaze answers a different question: will the design sell against behavioural science rules?
