The delete test: identify the exact sentence where a busy reader stops reading, and why
The relevance audit: which lines are about ME (my product, my company) vs. about THEM (their problem, their world)? Give me the ratio. Anything worse than 30/70 me/them is a fail.
The specificity check: highlight every generic phrase that could appear in any vendor's email. Count them.
