How should results be interpreted (directional, not absolute)?

Seedlist results are directional, not absolute:

What they tell you: General placement health, authentication issues, content problems, provider-specific challenges.

What they cannot tell you: Exact placement for your real audience, user-level variation, engagement-influenced outcomes.

If seeds show 80% inbox, your engaged subscribers likely perform better. Your disengaged subscribers likely perform worse.

Use results to guide decisions, not as precise predictions. A seed showing spam at Gmail warrants investigation even if you cannot prove exact real-world impact.

Charts show the general waters. Actual sailing conditions vary.
