🔍 Key Findings

1. Documentation Links Win Decisively

Adding downloadable security documentation moved security confidence from 2.8 → 8.0 (+186%) and CISO presentation from 1.8 → 7.4 (+311%). This is the single most effective content addition.

2. Complete Package Scores Lower Than Docs Alone

Surprisingly, combining documentation + trust signals (7.0 security) scored lower than documentation alone (8.0 security). This suggests adding too much content may dilute focus on what matters most.

3. Trust Signals Boost Premium Feel

Trust signals variant scored highest for premium feel (8.4/10), showing that logos and case studies work for brand perception - but documentation works better for security confidence.

4. Documentation = Concrete Proof

Enterprise buyers don't just want to hear you have SOC 2 - they want to download the report. Actionable links to documentation provide concrete proof that moves metrics.
