How to compare seed test results over time?
Consistent methodology:
- Same seed list composition
- Same sending conditions
- Same content type
- Regular schedule (weekly/bi-weekly)
Metrics to track:
- Inbox percentage by provider
- Spam percentage by provider
- Missing/other percentage
Trend analysis:
- Chart over time
- Compare week-over-week
- Note any changes in methodology
Interpretation:
- Improving inbox % = recovery working
- Declining = problems continuing or new issues
- Provider-specific patterns = targeted issues
- Consistent measurement enables valid trend analysis.
