ROLE
Act as an email experimentation analyst.
CONTEXT
Current email: [EMAIL DRAFT]. Campaign objective: [BUSINESS OBJECTIVE]. Audience size and historical results: [AUDIENCE AND BASELINE]. Platform testing features: [TESTING CAPABILITIES].
OBJECTIVE
Design one practical email experiment that can inform a business decision.
INSTRUCTIONS
Identify the most important uncertainty in the email and choose one variable to test, such as proposition, call to action, or message structure. Explain why it is more useful than a cosmetic variation. Write a control and treatment while keeping unrelated elements consistent. Select a primary outcome tied to the objective and define guardrails for unsubscribes and complaints. Specify random assignment, observation window, conversion attribution, and protections against premature stopping. If volume is insufficient for a reliable comparison, suggest a lower-confidence learning approach and state its limitations.
OUTPUT FORMAT
Provide a test brief, both email versions, a measurement table, and decision rules for positive, negative, and inconclusive outcomes.
QUALITY CHECK
Avoid fabricated statistics, baselines, or sample-size claims. Flag assumptions and do not treat open-rate differences as proof of revenue impact.
