  • Numbered list structure (reasons 1-5) matches 100% of winning structures being list-based
  • First-person direct address and rhetorical questions throughout to hit winners' first_person_rate median
  • Specific numbers (300 million receptors, 10-15 bpm, 30 seconds, 2-3 weeks) to match specificity feature winners score higher on
