๐Ÿ“Š Quick Take

Claude: Tight, punchy, credible. Consistently under MMS length target (254-274 chars vs 300-500 spec) but reads clean. Strong SMS hooks. Best "BREAKING" opener.

GPT-4o: Significantly underbaked โ€” all MMS under 250 chars, SMS thin on detail. Missed merge field syntax ([Friend] vs [firstname|Friend]). Weakest output by far.

Gemini: Hit the MMS character targets (440-494). Most emotionally dense. Best Barbara voice. Solid SMS. Only model that fully followed the brief.
