Specialist audience classification knowledge used by the analyst and curator agents when designing content strategy and A/B tests.

| Power Readers | Opened last 5 issues consecutively | Deep content, exclusive resources |
| Occasional Readers | Opened 2–3 out of 5 | Optimize subject lines, keep it concise |
| At-Risk | Missed last 3 consecutive issues | Re-engagement campaign |
| New Subscribers | Joined within last 30 days | Welcome series, best-of curation |
| Click-Active | High link-click rate after opening | Deep-dive content, CTA-focused |

- 50–79: Core — Standard newsletter + monthly special content
- 20–49: Casual — Key summary version, short format
- 0–19: Dormant — Re-engagement sequence → if no response, clean from list
