Register is a constraint
Brand voice is not a style guide slide. It is a hard limit on what the fleet is allowed to send.
Most outbound failures that get blamed on ‘the channel’ are actually register failures. The message could not have been sent from the client’s own domain without embarrassment. Buyers feel that before they can name it.
How we lock register
- Sample sent-folder writing from the client before sequence one.
- Banned phrases list per industry (especially anything that sounds like a growth hacker).
- Human review on first live day for regulated and partner-led brands.
- Automatic halt if a variant drifts outside approved length or tone bands.
If it cannot sit in their sent folder, it does not leave our range.
