Save referenceDesired Outcome
Smarter than 99% of people is a big, clean dream, and the stark black-and-white stare gives it weight. The one-to-two-year stamp makes it feel earned rather than magic. But the text mostly restates the title, so one surface does the same job twice.
Title
The title stakes the 99% claim that makes the promise feel rare.
Thumbnail
The thumbnail repeats the smarter promise in text and adds a one-to-two-year span.
