Define the campaign decision
30-60 min
30-60 min
State whether the brief should decide message retention, segment changes, CTA changes, offer changes, or a follow-up test. Name the primary business outcome. Work from Mailchimp using campaign ID, campaign type, send date, audience as the minimum evidence set. Complete this work in Mailchimp or the controlled working file; no Claude prompt is needed for this step. Save the finished artifact in the campaign reality brief with the run date, owner, evidence reference, confidence, and approval status. Treat Apple Mail Privacy Protection as a separate exception class and do not count it as failure unless the policy says so.
Define the campaign decision completed as a dated section of the campaign reality brief, with campaign ID, click rate, evidence links, owner, and approval status for retain the winning message.
Do not let campaign ID stand in for campaign type; that shortcut creates false positives in campaign performance reality brief. Document the result in the same run folder so the next cycle can compare like with like. Apply it specifically during “Define the campaign decision.”
