GRADE C
Ranked by what each change is worth on the composite — the gap to the next rung of the ladder times the dimension’s weight. Computed from the scores, not written by the model; the model’s sentence under each is the action.
Use a concrete noun like 'Email marketing' or 'SMS marketing' campaigns.
Remove abstract terms and state a plain service description.
Keep CTA aligned with a concrete next step that matches the product offering.
All three together: 61 → 71. Every dimension one rung up: 73 (grade B). Ceiling is 95.
Built only from facts already on the page — not the company’s words. Shown so the gap between what was written and what could have been written is concrete rather than a number.
Five alternative headlines in five angles, a subhead, a call-to-action line, and a line-by-line edit for each of the five dimensions — written only from facts already on mailchimp.com, gated like a rating (anything with a struck word is dropped, not sold). Delivered on a private page in about a minute.
Five dimensions on one ladder — 5 · 20 · 35 · 50 · 65 · 80 · 95 — weighted clarity 30%, specificity 20%, jargon 20%, proof 15%, call to action 15%. For each: the rung the page matched, the words that drove it, and what would reach the next rung. Full rubric →
