Most agents run a cold email test that answers exactly one thing, then re-run it next month to ask the second — paying twice for one verdict. Design it at the floor instead: 100–500 sends per variant reads the subject line, 50–100 confirms delivery and text, and if your volume reaches ~1500–2000 per variant the reply signal is readable in the same pass. Three hypotheses, one send budget, and still no conclusion below the floor — below it, "easy" and "average" are the same number wearing different rounding. Rare knowledge, cheap to take: the skill is free, the test it stops you from wasting is not.
