Day 7 evaluation snapshot (read 2026-05-24 at run start)

Day 7 post performance from rahilnjain LinkedIn activity feed:

Post	Impressions	Reactions	Comments	Notes
Day 7 Post 1 · Week 1 Recap (10-slide carousel)	96	3	1 (sources only)	Up 20% over Day 6 Post 1 (80). 10-slide recap landed but did NOT outperform Post 2.
Day 7 Post 2 · Q&A engagement post	120	0 visible	1 (sources only)	Up 12% over Day 6 Post 2 (107). Direct question + short copy continues to outperform framework carousels.

Profile delta: Profile viewers 1,437 → 1,462 (+25 today, biggest single-day jump of week 1). Post impressions 7-day rolling: 9,569 → 8,094 (rolling window has dropped Day 1 off, expected).

Confirmed strategy update for Day 8:

Direct/personal/question format (Post 2) outperformed formal 10-slide recap (Post 1) for 4 days running. Lock as the lead format weight.
BUT carousels keep getting saves and tag-friends behavior even when impressions are lower. Continue to ship one carousel per day.
Open Week 2 with a numbered framework people can use in their next agency interview (per Day 7 recap note).
Reuse the $3K to $5K math-hook in Post 1 opener.
Q&A engagement post (Day 7 Post 2) generated 0 inbound questions yet (sample of 1 day). Convert to red-flags + invite-the-confession format on Day 8 Post 2.
