## FAQ

**Should I treat 62.5 percent open as proof the mail was read?**

No. Open rate uses a tracking pixel. Prefetch can fire it without a human reading the mail. Use reply, interest, and resume to decide. Those are 9.2 percent, 7.5 percent, and 45 resumes on this account.

**Is this the same as the 55-role account?**

No. That account ran many functions for seven months. This one hired engineers over two months. Both are anonymized company accounts. Neither is a named logo.
