What changes the cost
Number of segments and flows, design needs, product-data quality and integration work.
Evidence to inspect
No standalone case analysis for this exact service is included. A service publication confirms the offer, not a delivered project; request a relevant case before committing.
Prepare your brief
List provenance, segments, consent records, sending domain, templates, product feed and purchase events.
A sending-platform subscription, database acquisition and legal review are separate responsibilities.
Questions and answers
Can open rate be the acceptance criterion?
Use implementation checks and business-relevant actions too. A single engagement metric does not describe the quality of a lifecycle program.
Who owns the sending domain?
Document ownership and delegated permissions, and retain authentication and suppression settings when changing vendors.
