§ Methodology
How we arrive at confidence.
Clipus runs a closed loop — read your product, score the strongest angles, publish, learn from what actually worked. This page explains the read-and-score half.
Signals
Three classes of signals. DOM structure — the layout and copy your page renders. Public positioning — your landing, your docs, your nearest competitors. API traces (with the Chrome Extension) — what your app actually returns when someone clicks.
A Deep Report typically surfaces dozens of signals pulled from across your key pages.
Angles
Each angle is a messaging frame — Pain → Solve, Before → After, Risk → Guarantee, Benchmark → Outcome. We score each candidate on three axes:
- Category relevance — does it fit your product's job-to-be-done?
- Competitive distinctiveness — does it separate you from the nearest alternatives we scanned?
- Proven-frame match — does it match patterns that have worked in B2B SaaS short-form?
Top 3 angles surface in every report, with the strongest highlighted as the best match.
Confidence
We don't publish the exact weights or the scoring formula — they'd become an attack surface for SEO-style gaming and erode the score's value as a quality signal. Here's what we do publish:
Confidence blends three inputs:
- Signal coverage — how much of your product we could actually read.
- Cross-source alignment — how consistent the evidence is across pages.
- Internal evaluator pass — an automated QA step before the report surfaces.
Every report is gated on a confidence threshold. Weaker findings are moved to an exploratory section rather than surfaced as primary claims. You'll see the confidence score, not the threshold — we keep that private so it stays a quality floor, not a competitive benchmark.
Cited sources
Every signal carries its source page so claims stay traceable. Free Surface Reports use the same engine on a smaller scope.

§ Data flow
What leaves your browser, and when.
Captures only happen during sessions you explicitly start. OCR runs on-device — text detection never leaves the tab. Captured images, DOM, and click coordinates are uploaded over TLS to clipus.io and auto-deleted 30 days after the render completes.
