FAQ

The questions people ask before they trust it.

No spin — the same honesty policy as /proof. If something's unresolved, it says so instead of a vague non-answer.

Agentic Priming has no customers yet — why should I trust the rubric?

You shouldn't take it on faith. The rubric isn't invented for this product — it's the pattern behind a real, checkable track record (a $7.4M pipeline / $1.2M ARR campaign, pre-ChatGPT, run by hand). See /proof for the full disclosure, including that it's not a Agentic Priming result — it's the reason the rubric exists. The next number on that page will be a real design-partner result, published with permission.

Are the testimonials on the site real?

No, and the page says so directly. /testimonials is explicitly labeled illustrative — voices the product is designed around, not real customers. Real ones replace them the moment there are real ones.

What happens to the cold email sequence I paste in?

It's stored to help calibrate and improve the scoring rubric over time. It's never shared, sold, or attributed to you or your company.

Do I need to create an account?

No. Paste the sequence and it gets scored — no signup required to try it.

Does it work with Smartlead, Instantly, or Clay?

Yes. Agentic Priming doesn't send email or manage deliverability — it scores and rewrites the message text itself, so it works with whatever you're already using to send, or with a sequence you're drafting by hand.

How is this different from a deliverability or personalization tool?

Instantly, Smartlead, and Clay compete on send volume, personalization tokens, and inbox placement. None of them score whether the actual message would change a real reader's mind. That's the specific gap Agentic Priming scores for.

Is this just AI-detection for my copy?

No — that's one part of it, not the whole thing. The 12-family rubric scores persuasion (relevance, status, curiosity, risk reversal, and so on). A separate, independent pass — the humanity check — catches whether the message reads like a person or a language model. Heavy-handed persuasion and AI writing tend to produce the same tells, so both get checked.

What if I cancel?

Cancel anytime. If you cancel mid-cycle, the unused portion of that month is refunded pro-rated — you're not paying for time you didn't use.

I'm a founder, not a growth team — is this actually for me?

That's specifically who it's built for. It's written for the person writing the cold email themselves — pre-seed and seed founders, founding GTM hires, and fractional consultants — not a platform for managing a team of SDRs.

Can I try it before paying $350/month?

Yes — the free scoring tool needs no account. And if you're a founder or founding GTM hire at a pre-$1M ARR software company, Agentic Priming is free for the first few months as a design partner, in exchange for honest feedback. See /pricing.
