See this course’s project requirements

An unsent fictional two-message campaign with a permission/withdrawal ledger, preference segments, useful message copy, accessible action and opt-out QA, send-calendar holds and a privacy-aware delivered/unique-action review.

Keep your working files in your own notebook or software. Save a private description, checklist, and work link in My Proof.

What to include

  • Save four-record permission ledger and policy/jurisdiction boundary; include the original-case decision evidence and a separate changed-case result.
  • Save segment rules and excluded reasons by ID; include the original-case decision evidence and a separate changed-case result.
  • Save two original unsent messages with clear opt-out placeholder; include the original-case decision evidence and a separate changed-case result.
  • Save paper QA findings and hold actual send-readiness claim; include the original-case decision evidence and a separate changed-case result.
  • Save revised calendar and exclusions with no auto-send action; include the original-case decision evidence and a separate changed-case result.
  • Save permission/segments/copy/QA/calendar/metrics campaign packet; include the original-case decision evidence and a separate changed-case result.

Review and revise

Use these criteria to check your work and choose what to improve.

  • The final packet uses the supplied task-specific constraints and all six records agree.
  • Every result can be traced to an identifier, input, calculation or stated decision rule.
  • Changed-case practice updates dependent records and keeps holds or uncertainty visible.
  • The packet states the learner role, authority boundary and specific next verification needed before real work.

The idea in everyday life

Original fictional workplace practice; paper or a local document is sufficient. The rules and records below are supplied for this exercise, not asserted universal workplace policy. Hazelwood W1QA draft:truthful subject/sender; opt-out instruction requires login and fee; image contains all essential practice instructions without text; physical-address placeholder not filled. U.S.FTC guidance commercial email opt-out cannot require fee/login beyond permitted process. Gmail requirements apply to actual senders/context; no delivery setup here.

The idea

A send-readiness check separates copy, recipient eligibility, opt-out operation, and technical/legal setup; paper QA cannot certify an actual sender configuration.

Audit opt-out accessibility and release prerequisites — worked practice

A send-readiness check separates copy, recipient eligibility, opt-out operation, and technical/legal setup; paper QA cannot certify an actual sender configuration.

Hazelwood W1QA draft:truthful subject/sender; opt-out instruction requires login and fee; image contains all essential practice instructions without text; physical-address placeholder not filled. U.S.FTC guidance commercial email opt-out cannot require fee/login beyond permitted process. Gmail requirements apply to actual senders/context; no delivery setup here. Use paper or a local document. Preserve the original case and make a separate changed-case record.

  1. 1. Step 1

    Flag fee/login barrier against the cited U.S.commercial email guide.

    You should see: Opt-out draft requires repair; no pay/login gate.

    Keep the stated identifier, unit and policy alongside this result so another reader can check it.

  2. 2. Step 2

    Add essential text version rather than image-only instruction.

    You should see: Readable practice purpose/action in text; image optional.

    Keep the stated identifier, unit and policy alongside this result so another reader can check it.

  3. 3. Step 3

    Mark physical address and actual technical/jurisdiction review pending.

    You should see: No imagined address/authentication approval.

    Keep the stated identifier, unit and policy alongside this result so another reader can check it.

  4. 4. Step 4

    Save paper QA findings and hold actual send-readiness claim.

    You should see: Three copy/setup gaps; fictional unsent draft completion does not certify deployment.

    Keep the stated identifier, unit and policy alongside this result so another reader can check it.

Now change one thing

Fee/login removed and text instructions added, address/setup review still pending. How many of the three stated QA groups remain open?

Your work

What to finish

Save paper QA findings and hold actual send-readiness claim; include the original-case decision evidence and a separate changed-case result.

Common mistake

Watch for this

Calling a paper QA check real email compliance certification or using fees/login barriers for withdrawal.

How can I tell I understand it?

Using the supplied identifiers, I can save paper QA findings and hold actual send-readiness claim. My changed-case record names the revised condition and explains which dependent decision it changes.
