The exact change
> "We tested two follow-up cadences across a comparable A/B sample at three consecutive Messe Frankfurt fairs. The day-1 cohort booked follow-up meetings at 41 percent of A-grade leads. The day-5 cohort booked at 19 percent. The follow-up content, sender, and channel were identical. The only variable was timing." — Common observation among Cvent-certified European event managers
> "Follow-up timing has a dramatic effect on meeting-booking rates. Cohorts that received day-1 follow-up consistently book meaningfully more follow-up meetings than cohorts contacted several days later, even when the content, sender, and channel are identical." — common observation among European event managers

Why this is better
5 issues fixed: Fabricated citation attributed to 'Common observation among Cvent-certified European event managers' with a specific A/B tested statistic (41 percent vs 19 percent booking rate at three consecutive Messe Frankfurt fairs) presented as an actual controlled test; this specific study is not verifiable and reads as a fabricated case study. | Attributes a specific memory-decay research finding to 'Salesforce, Cvent, and academic studies on memory decay in B2B selling environments' with a precise 'halves at roughly day 4' claim that is not traceable to any specific named study. | Fabricated citation attributed to 'Common framing among MPI-certified event marketers' with a specific quote about Swapcard-using event teams; not verifiable as a real sourced statement. | Fabricated citation attributed to 'Common observation among AUMA-affiliated exhibitor coaches' with a specific quote and 2-3x gap claim; not verifiable and 'AUMA-affiliated exhibitor coaches' is not a defined, findable source category. | References 'AUMA Exhibitor Cost Benchmarks' as a named source in the reference list; this is not a verifiable/real AUMA publication title.
