Half the day on research
A made-up LinkedIn message (middling). Judged by the checker.
Would I reply? On a good day.
Opening on my post got my attention, but the pitch turns to your tool fast and the ask is soft. Give me one sharp question about my reps' time.

01Greeting
StrongHi Marcus,
Hi Marcus, is right for LinkedIn: friendly, personal and short. Nothing to fix here.
02Opening line
StrongHi Marcus, enjoyed your post about SDRs spending half their day on research.
Opening on my own post about SDRs and research tells me this isn't a mass blast. That got me to keep reading.
03Delivers on the opening line
StrongWe built a tool that pulls account research into one page before each call
The very next line picks up the research problem from my post and answers it. The opening is paid off straight away.
04About them
OKWe built a tool that pulls account research into one page before each call
It opens on my post, but then two of the next three lines are about your tool. More on my team's day would help.
05Value
OKthe teams using it get about an hour a day back per rep
An hour a day per rep is a decent claim, but it's about your customers and I can't check it. One insight about my team would land better.
06Personalisation

My post is the reason you're writing, and the whole pitch hangs off it. Take it out and the message falls flat.
07Reason to reply
OKWould it be worth a look for Northlight?
It's a fair question, but 'worth a look' is vague and the video offer after it muddies things. End on one clear question.
08Personality

It reads like a real person and has no stock phrases. But there's no turn of phrase or view that only you would write.

Gets the point in about 13 seconds, a little slow. Land the point and the ask inside 10.
10Formatting
StrongHi Marcus, enjoyed your post about SDRs spending half their day on research. We built a tool
It's a short DM with a plain sign-off, no links and no clutter. Easy to read on my phone.
Strong counts 100%, OK 50%, Weak 0%, all points equal. Point 9 is timed by a formula, not marked by the AI: the AI finds where the point and the ask land, then the reading up to there (subject included) is timed at 230 words a minute, slower for hard text. 10 seconds or less is Strong, up to 15 is OK. The full read is for information. Point 10 uses formatting checks made in code.
The rewrite
Your offer, your facts, your voice, cut to what a buyer needs. Anything in [square brackets] is yours to fill in: I don't make up facts.
