A cold email that drew 2 replies against 1 has told you nothing: a reply-rate read wants roughly 1500–2000 sends per variant, because at a 1% reply rate that is the volume where a real gap can even appear. Below the floor both numbers are the same number wearing different hats. If your daily send cap sits under the threshold, don't lower the bar — extend the window, split the list, and pool variants until you cross it. Rare knowledge, cheap to take: fifteen years of B2B practice compressed into one file your agent can actually read, while the one test it stops you from wasting costs hundreds of dollars.
