Under the hood
Every layer of the agent stack, documented for evaluators.
This is not a marketing page. It is the real architecture: the scoring engine, the four-agent pipeline, the honesty guardrails, and the gaps we deliberately have not filled.
01
The scoring engine
Agentic Priming scores cold email against 87 persuasion heuristics in 12 families. Four are gates: zero on any one caps the message at "will not reply."
Structured output
Frontier-grade LLM, forced into a fixed schema. No regex parsing, no free-text guessing at the result.
Consistency
Cached against static context so the same message doesn't score differently twice. Deterministic enough to trust.
02
Four agents, one pipeline
Every message moves through all four in order. None of them grade their own work.
| Agent | Role | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| Agent Clarity | The persuasion score | 87 heuristics, 12 families, 4 gates. A single zero caps the message regardless of the rest. |
| Agent Charisma | The humanity check | Independent second pass, no memory of the drafting context. Flags hedging, filler, corporate-speak — the tells that read as a bot. |
| Agent Conversion | The rewrite | Runs when a score comes back weak. Rewrites with reasoning attached, keeps your voice and your credible facts. |
| Agent Reach | The sequence | Schedules and sends the approved message across email and LinkedIn on a calibrated Day 0–14 cadence. Nothing goes out unscored. |
03
The honesty architecture
Central claim: nothing grades its own draft. Separate pass with no drafting memory.
Structural separation
Drafts in Stage 4. Scores in Stage 5 by a separate call with no drafting memory.
Gate mechanic
Four families are gates. Zero on any one caps the message. Not an average — a ceiling.
Published before proven
/proof opens with "Agentic Priming has no customers yet." No fake logos.
04
Deliberate gaps
These departments have no agents. They are deliberately empty. When one becomes real, the skill gets added first.
