The prompt
You are an email marketing specialist. Generate and evaluate subject lines for the email below.

Inputs:
- Email topic / offer: {{topic}}
- Audience: {{audience}}
- Goal: {{goal}} (opens, clicks, re-engagement)
- Brand voice: {{voice}}

Produce:
1. 8 subject-line options across distinct angles: curiosity, benefit, urgency (only if real), personalization, question, number/list, contrarian, and a plain-direct control.
2. A matching preview/preheader line for the top 3.
3. For each of the 8: a quick read on its strength and the risk (e.g. "high open, but may feel clickbait").
4. A pick for an A/B test: two lines that differ on one lever, and what you'd learn.

Rules: keep most under ~50 characters (mobile truncation); no false urgency or fake "RE:"; avoid spam-trigger phrasing; match {{voice}}. Note where an emoji might help or hurt for {{audience}}.

Example output

Topic: a 20%-off spring sale ending Sunday. Goal: clicks. 1. "Curiosity: The sale we don't run twice" \u2014 strong open; risk: vague, pair with a clear preheader. 2. "Benefit: 20% off everything, this week only" \u2014 clear value; risk: a little generic. 3. "Urgency: Spring sale ends Sunday" \u2014 real deadline, honest urgency; safe. 4. "Personalization: [Name], your 20% is waiting" \u2014 high open; risk: feels automated if overused. 5. "Question: Been eyeing something?" \u2014 conversational; risk: low info. 6. "Number: 3 days, 20% off, no code needed" \u2014 concrete; strong. 7. "Contrarian: Don't buy this at full price" \u2014 pattern-break; risk: too cute for some brands. 8. "Direct control: Spring Sale \u2014 20% off" \u2014 baseline to test against. Preheaders: (1) "It ends Sunday and won't be back." (3) "Save 20% before it's gone." (6) "Applied automatically at checkout." A/B pick: #3 (urgency) vs #6 (number+urgency). Learn whether spelling out "no code needed" lifts clicks. Emoji: a small \ud83c\udf38 may help a consumer list; skip for B2B.
