Task:
Create a B2B cold email campaign with one initial email and five follow-up emails. Each email should have a different angle, but the sequence should feel connected and intentional.

Constraints:
- Do not use hype, fake urgency, or exaggerated claims.
- Do not use corporate jargon or filler words such as innovative, cutting-edge, seamless, premium, world-class, robust, game-changing, or next-generation.
- Keep each email under 130 words.
- Make the opening line relevant to the prospect's likely situation.
- Use one clear CTA per email.
- Do not ask for a 30-minute meeting unless the offer genuinely requires it. Prefer low-friction CTAs such as "Worth a quick look?" or "Should I send the short version?"
- Avoid sounding like a newsletter, brochure, or automated blast.

Output format:
1. Campaign strategy summary: one paragraph explaining the sequence logic.
2. Buyer pain map: list the top 5 pains this sequence targets.
3. Email sequence table with columns: Step, Subject Line, Angle, Email Body, CTA.
4. Personalization notes: 5 ways to customize the sequence for better reply rates.
5. Quality check: identify any lines that may sound generic and rewrite them stronger.

What you'll get

1. Campaign strategy summary — the logic behind the sequence
2. Buyer pain map — top 5 pains the sequence targets
3. Email sequence table — step, subject line, angle, body, CTA for all 6 emails
4. Personalization notes — 5 ways to customize for better reply rates
