Will It Stick? tests your words before you send them. Three cold readers say what they heard, not what you meant.
You are not asking whether the words are good. You are asking what a reader walks away believing. Only one of those can be tested.
Three cold readers read your words apart. Each reports the one line they kept. Where their lines split, your message splits too.
A real panel run. The full run is on Examples.
Tell a close friend last weekend hurt me and ask to talk, without sounding angry
Hey, I need to talk about something. I have been feeling kind of off about how things went last weekend and I do not want it to be weird. You matter to me and I value our friendship a lot. Can we talk sometime?
The distracted stranger kept: “Talk about last weekend.”
The skeptic kept: “Friend hurt last weekend.”
The target reader kept: “Friend hurt me last weekend.”
Only one reader in three heard the word “me.” The other two heard an event, not a hurt. The hurt was the whole point.
Read cold, the note sounds gentle and vague. A friend could answer “sure, let's talk” and never know anything hurt. Or hear a complaint coming and brace for it.
“Say what happened last weekend to show why you want to talk.”
