The Email Flow Grader

Five automated flows do most of the revenue work in email. Grade yours in about two minutes: one honest score, and a fix-first list ordered by what pays back soonest.

Runs entirely in your browser. No email required to see your full results. Nothing you enter is tracked, stored, or sent anywhere.

    How it works

    What happens when you press start.

    No magic, no black box. Here is the whole machine.

    01

    You pick the state of each flow

    Five automated flows, four states each, from “doesn’t exist” to best practice, plus three yes/no foundations. Nothing to connect, nothing to upload.

    02

    We weight what matters most

    Flows carry 80 of the 100 points, weighted by revenue impact using the exact splits below. The three foundations carry the other 20, because flows only perform on top of healthy basics.

    03

    You get a grade and a fix-first list

    A letter grade with a plain-English read, plus your gaps ordered by what pays back soonest, not alphabetically, and not by what is easiest to sell you.

    What we check

    The checklist, and why each item is on it.

    Five flows and three foundations. The point values below are exactly what the score uses; the flow weights follow their typical share of automated email revenue.

    25 pts

    Welcome series

    The warmest audience you will ever have is people who just asked to hear from you. Best practice is 4–7 emails over one to two weeks.

    25 pts

    Abandoned checkout

    People who almost paid you. Benchmark sweet spot is 2–3 emails, with any offer held back to the second or third; more is not better here.

    20 pts

    Post-purchase

    Order two is cheaper to win than order one. Strong setups run 3–5 emails over several weeks, split first-time vs. repeat.

    15 pts

    Browse abandonment

    Lighter intent than a cart, but a huge audience. Two emails is the ceiling, not the floor.

    15 pts

    Win-back

    A lapsed customer already trusted you once. Two to three emails, timed to your buying cycle.

    20 pts

    Foundations

    Signup incentive (7), sunsetting dead contacts (7), and knowing what email earned last month (6). Flows built on a sick list underperform no matter how good they are.

    Score = flow states (out of 80, weighted as above) + foundations (out of 20). A ≥ 85, B ≥ 70, C ≥ 50.

    Where the numbers come from (and their limits)

    The scales follow Klaviyo’s published benchmarks and flow guidance, weighted by our own judgement from client work. We are a Klaviyo partner, which is how we know the benchmarks, and also a bias you should know about. A human set every number; AI handled the plumbing and does not touch your score.

    The honest limitation: this grades your setup, not your results. A well-built flow with weak copy still underperforms, and an unusual business can break any benchmark. When your revenue data disagrees with our grade, trust your data.

    Privacy: everything runs in your browser. Nothing you toggle is logged, stored, or sent anywhere, ever. The “copy my results” button writes to your own clipboard and nowhere else.

    Fair questions

    Asked, answered, honestly.

    Is it actually free?
    Yes. No account, no email wall, no trial. The grade, the fix-first list, everything above is the whole product.
    What happens to my answers?
    Nothing leaves your browser, full stop. This page makes no network requests with your inputs; close the tab and they are gone.
    How accurate is this?
    It measures whether the right flows exist in the right shape, which is the part benchmarks can measure. It cannot judge your copy, your offers, or your list quality. Treat the grade as a map of what to build, not a prediction of revenue.
    I got a C. Is that bad?
    It is normal. Most stores we audit start there, usually with a strong cart flow and thin everything else. The fix-first list is ordered by payback, so start at the top; the first two fixes usually do most of the lifting.
    Keep going

    Your score is a starting line, not a verdict.

    Two honest next steps, depending on how deep you want to go. Both are optional; the results above are yours either way.
