TinyShield abandoned-checkout / welcome — three more slice emails

Copy fixed to the real offer: one bottle, one-time, $39.99. A second bottle in the same order is 40% off, applied automatically, no code. Free shipping on every order, always, no threshold. 30-day money-back on the first bottle. No first-order discount, no code, no expiring deadline — every "40% off your first order" / "FIRST40" / "tonight at midnight" line is gone. Bottom photos are real customers from the brand's own videos (no AI humans, no bottle cutouts). Each column: desktop render at 50% width, phone render at 50% width, then that email's QC output verbatim. All three ran through the email-slicer pipeline (render → slice → assemble → qc).

E2 · 24hr, Direction B

Color block — morning-counter hero (bowl, drop, bottle), three plain objection Q&A cards, closer: the ingredients flat-lay (orange, elderberry, lemon, blueberries, thyme around the bottle)

E3 · 48hr, Direction C

QC: FAILED

Expected: the brief renamed the button "Claim my discount" → "Finish my order" (baked + live). That copy doesn't contain the qc.mjs keyword regex (checkout/shop/claim/cart), so the guardrail flags it — but the live button is still a real text link to the cart. Not a rendering or content bug; flagging per instructions rather than editing the shared qc.mjs (out of scope, shared with slice-e1).

Welcome E1 · Direction B

Color block, founder voice — sunlit-counter hero (backpack, mug, bottle), free-shipping offer card (no code, no FIRST40), closer: Serina and her daughter in the garden (real founder photo), melting into the founder sign-off band

QC: FAILED

Expected: the brief renamed the button "Claim my 40%" → "Start with one bottle" (baked + live). Same keyword-regex miss as E3, not a content or render bug — the live button still links to taketinyshield.com/products/immune with real anchor text.
