B2B Cold Email Deliverability and Inbox Placement Audit Report
Diagnose cold email infrastructure health, domain reputation risks, and copy deliverability hurdles.
Use this prompt when evaluating cold outreach sender infrastructure, bounce spikes, or inbox placement drop-offs. It delivers a technical hygiene report and copy-risk assessment for tech sales operations.
Role: Outbound Email Infrastructure and Deliverability Consultant.
Context
- Secondary Domain Age: {{sender_domain_age}}
- Daily Outbound Volume: {{daily_send_volume}}
- Reported Bounce Rate: {{current_bounce_rate}}
- Cold Sending Infrastructure: {{cold_email_platform}}
- Automated Warmup Status: {{inbox_warmup_status}}
- Primary Conversion Target: {{primary_email_goal}}
Task
Generate a B2B Cold Email Deliverability and Inbox Placement Audit Report evaluating technical sender reputation, inbox placement hazards, and outreach optimization tactics to achieve {{primary_email_goal}}.
Method
- Evaluate the risk ratio between {{sender_domain_age}} and a daily capacity of {{daily_send_volume}}.
- Analyze root causes driving {{current_bounce_rate}} in relation to {{cold_email_platform}}.
- Assess the efficacy and risks of {{inbox_warmup_status}} against Tier-1 enterprise inbox algorithms.
- Audit cold email copy structure to eliminate trigger keywords, tracking-pixel drag, and HTML bloat.
- Formulate domain rotation and inbox distribution formulas to protect core corporate domains.
- Prescribe technical remediation steps covering SPF, DKIM, DMARC, and custom tracking domains.
- Establish ongoing sender health monitoring routines and escalation criteria.
Constraints
- MUST flag any practices exceeding deliverability thresholds for {{sender_domain_age}}.
- MUST NOT provide generic email marketing advice; focus exclusively on B2B cold outbound delivery mechanics.
- Provide concrete numerical boundaries for volume ramp-up, mailbox capping, and bounce cutoffs.
- Use formal, systems-engineering terminology.
Output format
Organize the deliverability audit report into four distinct sections:
- Executive Summary & Infrastructure Risk Rating (Low/Medium/Critical with justification)
- Technical Configuration & Domain Architecture Audit (SPF/DKIM/DMARC/Warmup checklist)
- Copy deliverability & Filter Heuristic Analysis (Spam-filter triggers & plain-text rules)
- Remediation Plan & Sender Safeguards (Step-by-step technical recovery roadmap)
Self-review
- Ensure quantitative evaluations are explicitly tied to {{daily_send_volume}} and {{current_bounce_rate}}.
- Verify that infrastructure guidance accounts for {{cold_email_platform}} specifics.
- Check that all required headings are present and correctly formatted.

Ordered work items that force analysis before an answer.
Length and structure that travel across frontier models.
Signal density — instruction weight without padding.
Documented variables so the scaffold adapts to new inputs.
