Github edges out Iter significantly on homepage messaging, 83 to 68. Here's where the gap comes from.

Github is clearer about what it does (100 vs 32 on clarity). Github's hero ("Search code, repositories, users, issues, pull requests...") names something concrete, while Iter's ("Fusion energy") stays abstract. Iter has stronger CTAs (75 vs 60). Github triggers decision paralysis with 10 competing CTAs, while Iter keeps it focused at 3. Github is better at saying who it's for (ICP: 53 vs 40). Github has a much stronger pricing page (90 vs 0). Iter doesn't have a detectable pricing page at all.

Both sites use the "Community / Movement" positioning archetype — they're competing on the same narrative, which means differentiation has to come from execution, not framing.
