01
Read by the people the copy is for
A buying committee reads copy differently from a family comparing two plans. Every audience is one of three kinds: business buyers, consumers or politics. The jury reads in the role that fits.
For political copy it judges whether a message lands. It does not judge the position itself, and it takes no side.
02
The verdict follows your core
Not every persona counts the same. You decide who your offer is made for, the core, and who only reads along, the edge. The verdict follows the core; the edge is shown next to it.
If a version only wins with people at the edge, you get a warning instead of a win. Otherwise you would ship copy that convinces the wrong people.
Example, invented
Verdict follows the core: new version wins 4 of 4.
At the edge: 1 of 2.
03
When everyone likes it a little
Some copy puts nobody off and is nobody's first choice. The scores look fine, yet the copy pulls no one in. In that case the result carries a note, so you don't mistake a pale text for a good one.
Example, invented
Note: everyone likes it a little, nobody's first choice.
04
Does the copy keep your brand promise?
Add your brand promise in one sentence. Each persona says whether the copy keeps it or drifts away, with a short reason. This does not go into the score. It is a second question next to the first: copy can win and still leave the brand behind.
Example, invented
Brand promise: 5 of 6 say "keeps it".
05
What only you say
Add your page and the copy of two or three competitors. For each of your core claims, 99takes shows whether a competitor promises the same (taken), something similar (contested) or none of it (open). Every rating carries a verbatim quote with its source.
It also shows where an open claim sits on your page: in the hero or further down. A claim three competitors make the same way decides no shortlist, however well it is worded. It compares what the texts say, not how the market perceives the vendors.
Example, invented
Open: "fixed price per environment". Sits in section 8 of 11, belongs further up.
Taken: "publish without developers" (competitors A, B).
06
Have challenger versions written
99takes also writes: versions that compete with your current copy. From the objections of a run, from the customer voices and research behind your audience or, without any draft, as a complete page from your positioning and the story your copy should tell (old way, new way). On request with a specific method, such as AIDA, benefit-led or headlines only.
Figures, customer names or results that are not backed anywhere, 99takes does not write: where proof is missing, the copy carries a placeholder. The versions are then tested like any other copy, and the jury does not know where they come from. If a version was written from the objections of this very jury, the result says a win there is expected and only the market decides.
Example, invented
Version 2 · Proof first: "Fixed price per location, term [PROOF: minimum term]. No setup project."
07
Shortlist several drafts
With five drafts, not every one needs a full run. A smaller jury sorts out which one is worth it. This is a shortlist, not a measurement, and the result says so.
08
The same persona in different situations
A CFO reads copy differently when choosing a vendor than when justifying a renewal. On request, every persona reads the copy in every situation the set knows. You see where the copy carries least.
09
Build a page section by section
Instead of testing a whole page at once, the build goes step by step: the hero first, then the offer and the other sections. Each step is tested so the steps stay comparable. At the end, the finished page has to beat the old one.
10
Results you can pass on
Every run has a detail page with each persona's scores for both versions. A study becomes a report with its own link that you send to colleagues or your client; in Slack or LinkedIn the link shows a preview with the result. You can revoke a link at any time.
11
How often the simulation was right
Report which version won in the market. That builds a hit rate per jury, always with the number of results and a range. It is published only from ten decidable results on; until then it reads "not measured yet".
The rate comes only from reported market results and belongs to exactly the jury that judged.
