Summary

  • Rewrites landing page hero, feature cards (7→4), how-it-works, and pricing tiers to position AgentGuard as a cost control surface — not a full observability platform
  • Narrows compare page from "vs LangSmith/Langfuse/Portkey observability" to "why AgentGuard for cost control" — trims table to cost-relevant rows only
  • Updates NORTHSTAR to include dashboard positioning and explicit non-goals (no full observability, no enterprise governance in V1)

New hero: "Stop runaway AI bills before they happen."
New feature cards: Hard budget caps, Loop & runaway detection, Spend visibility, Policy management
Cut from hero: Zero dependencies, Auto-instrument, Replay tests, Timeline viewer (moved to trust section or SDK-only)

Context

This is Phase 1 of the dashboard pivot plan. Full plan: .claude/plans/tidy-mixing-teacup.md

Phases 2-4 (nav pruning, event model alignment, onboarding flow) will happen in the dashboard repo.

Test plan

  • site/index.html renders correctly, all links work
  • site/compare.html renders correctly, all links work
  • No broken references to removed feature cards
  • Copy consistently says "cost control" not "observability"
  • make check passes (SDK unaffected — 503 tests passing)

🤖 Generated with Claude Code

Rewrite landing page, compare page, and NORTHSTAR to position
AgentGuard as a cost control surface for AI agents — not a
full observability platform.

- Hero: "Stop runaway AI bills before they happen"
- Feature cards: 7 → 4 (budget caps, loop detection, spend visibility, policy mgmt)
- Compare page: trim table to cost-relevant rows, reframe from "vs observability"
- NORTHSTAR: add dashboard positioning, explicit non-goals for observability/enterprise
- Pricing tiers: add persona labels and cost-control framing
