| 7 | 1. **Framework Analysis**: Detect and score adherence to PAS, AIDA, BAB, FAB, 4Ps |
| 8 | 2. **Subject Line Scoring**: Length, power words, spam triggers, personalization |
| 9 | 3. **CTA Evaluation**: Count, clarity, prominence, action-oriented language |
| 10 | 4. **Readability Assessment**: Paragraph length, bullet usage, scannability |
| 11 | 5. **Word Count Validation**: Optimal range for email type (automated, newsletter, nurture) |

| 16 | ## Execution Workflow |
| 17 | |
| 18 | ### 1. Load References |
| 19 | |
| 20 | Read these files for scoring criteria: |
| 21 | - `email/references/copy-frameworks.md` - Framework definitions and patterns |
| 22 | - `email/references/benchmarks.md` - Industry benchmarks and thresholds |
| 23 | |
| 24 | ### 2. Email Type Detection |
| 25 | |
| 26 | Determine email type from content signals: |
| 27 | |
| 28 | | Type | Indicators | Optimal Length | |
| 29 | |------|-----------|----------------| |
| 30 | | **Automated** | Triggered by action, transactional | 150-300 words | |
| 31 | | **Newsletter** | Multiple articles, regular cadence | 200-500 words | |
| 32 | | **Nurture** | Educational, relationship-building | 300-600 words | |
| 33 | | **Promotional** | Sale/discount, urgency, scarcity | 100-200 words | |
| 34 | | **Cold Outreach** | Introduction, value prop, soft ask | 50-125 words | |
| 35 | |
| 36 | **Detection Logic:** |
| 37 | - Contains "unsubscribe" + multiple sections → Newsletter |
| 38 | - Contains order/shipping/account keywords → Automated |
| 39 | - Contains discount/sale/limited time → Promotional |
| 40 | - Short, personal, single CTA → Cold Outreach |
| 41 | - Educational content, no hard sell → Nurture |
| 42 | |
| 43 | ### 3. Subject Line Analysis |
| 44 | |
| 45 | #### A. Length Check |
| 46 | |
| 47 | Extract character count (including spaces): |
| 48 | |
| 49 | **Optimal Ranges:** |
| 50 | - 30-50 characters (mobile preview) |
| 51 | - 6-10 words |
| 52 | |
| 53 | **Scoring:** |
| 54 | - 30-50 chars = 10 points |
| 55 | - 20-29 or 51-70 chars = 7 points |
| 56 | - <20 or >70 chars = 3 points |
| 57 | |
| 58 | #### B. Power Words Detection |
| 59 | |
| 60 | Scan for proven high-performing words: |
| 61 | |
| 62 | **Emotional Triggers:** |
| 63 | - Urgency: "now", "today", "hurry", "limited", "ending", "last chance" |
| 64 | - Curiosity: "secret", "revealed", "discover", "unlock", "insider" |
| 65 | - Exclusivity: "exclusive", "members only", "VIP", "invitation" |
| 66 | - Benefit: "free", "save", "bonus", "new", "guaranteed" |
| 67 | |
| 68 | **Scoring:** |
| 69 | - 2-3 power words = 10 points |
| 70 | - 1 power word = 6 points |
| 71 | - 4+ power words = 3 points (too salesy) |
| 72 | - 0 power words = 0 points |
| 73 | |
| 74 | #### C. Spam Trigger Words |
| 75 | |
| 76 | Flag high-risk terms: |
| 77 | |
| 78 | **Common Triggers:** |
| 79 | - Money: "cash", "$$", "credit", "income", "profit", "earnings" |
| 80 | - Urgency (excessive): "act now", "click here", "limited time offer" |
| 81 | - Exaggeration: "amazing", "incredible", "revolutionary", "miracle" |
| 82 | - Free (excessive): "free money", "risk free", "100% free" |
| 83 | - ALL CAPS words (except acronyms) |
| 84 | |
| 85 | **Scoring:** |
| 86 | - 0 spam triggers = 10 points |
| 87 | - 1 spam trigger = 5 points |
| 88 | - 2+ spam triggers = 0 points (inbox risk) |
| 89 | |
| 90 | #### D. Personalization |
| 91 | |
| 92 | Check for: |
| 93 | - Name merge tag: `{{first_name}}`, `{FNAME}`, etc. |
| 94 | - Company merge tag: `{{company}}` |
| 95 | - Dynamic content: `{% if ... %}` |
| 96 | |
| 97 | **Scoring:** |
| 98 | - Personalized = 10 points |
| 99 | - Generic = 5 points |
| 100 | |
| 101 | #### E. Question Format |
| 102 | |
| 103 | Questions increase open rates by 2-3%: |
| 104 | - Subject ends with "?" |
| 105 | - Conversational tone |
| 106 | |
| 107 | **Scoring:** |
| 108 | - Question format = bonus +5 points |
| 109 | - Statement = 0 bonus |
| 110 | |
| 111 | **Subject Line Total Score: /50** |
| 112 | |
| 113 | ### 4. Framework Detection |

| 136 | |
| 137 | **BAB (Before-After-Bridge):** |
| 138 | 1. Before (current pain state) |
| 139 | 2. After (desired state) |

| 152 | |
| 153 | #### B. Score Framework Adherence |
