## eToro Competitive Analysis — Session Work (11:09–15:36 UTC)

### What was built
1. **Competition hub index** — `https://staging.curiousendeavor.com/etoro-competition/`
   - 16 brand cards across 3 tiers (was 13, added Cash App, Venmo, Wise)
   - Cards: image, tier badge, threat level dots, blurb, CTA strip
   - Robinhood card: LIVE + linked. Others: "Research In Progress"
   - File: `public/etoro-competition/index.html`

2. **Revolut competitive analysis page** — `https://staging.curiousendeavor.com/etoro-competition/revolut-live/`
   - Full 10-section CE page with research from last30days + web + Revolut CDN + Playwright
   - Key insight written: Identity adhesion (4 mechanisms), card-as-design-system narrative
   - Photography Language section added (Lifestyle/Product/Interface/Branded Objects) — NEW TEMPLATE SECTION
   - Images: mix of Playwright screenshots (rv-crop-hero.png = homepage live) + CDN card renders
   - File: `public/etoro-competition/revolut-live/index.html`

3. **Anton template critique** — `work/active-projects/etoro/visual-research/template-critique.md`
   - 7 recommended template updates (P1–P7)
   - Most important: Add "Winning Logic §0" before Quick Facts
   - Add eToro implication callout per section (not just §10)
   - Add User Psychology subsection in Assessment

### Template improvements identified (for remaining 14 brands)
- §0 Winning Logic: 3–5 mechanisms WHY users adhere psychologically
- eToro implication callout in EVERY section (one red-text line)
- User Psychology in Assessment (love/rage patterns from Reddit)
- Copy Tone section (8–10 headlines analyzed structurally)
- Borrow/Reject items must have "because for eToro" clause
- Photography Language section (4 registers) — added to Revolut, standard going forward

### Bugs fixed
- **Permissions bug**: `etoro-competition/` folder created with root 700 perms, nginx worker couldn't read
  - Fix: `chmod -R 755 public/etoro-competition/`
  - **RULE: After creating new directories in public/, always run chmod -R 755 on them immediately**

### Issues / Assaf feedback
- Revolut images still not fully satisfactory — too many card renders, not editorial enough
- Revolut page has some Robinhood carry-over (partially fixed)
- Hour+ lost to: agent timeouts, wrong image sources, permissions bug, agent refusing legit URLs as "injection"
- Assaf frustrated with pace — page 2 of 16 taking 2+ hours is unacceptable
- "Nothing is what I want it to be" on Revolut page — quality gate failed

### Key data for Revolut
- Revenue: £3.1B (2024), profit: £790M, users: 65M+, valuation: $75B (Nov 2025)
- Brand agency: Internal (2023 "Revolut 10" by Gareth Morgan) + Anomaly (Jan 2025 "Money Possibilities")
- Colors: #4F55F1 (blue), #191C1F (near-black), #BFFF37 (lime), #9539F2 (purple)
- Font: Aeonik Pro Black + Inter
- Key copy: "Change the way you money" / "You call the Stocks"

### Costs today (estimate)
- ~$1.50–2.00 for all Revolut research + page builds

### HANDOVER — Pending
- Revolut page needs Assaf feedback + targeted fixes (images, carry-over cleanup)
- 14 remaining brands need research + page builds
- Batch run recommended: spawn 3–4 agents simultaneously, each does full research+build for one brand
- Hub index card needs updating as each brand goes live
- **TOMORROW: eToro Zoom call at 09:00 Lisbon — Assaf needs brief**
