Hi John,
Please find inputs that we received from Engineering for a similar issue reported by another customer.
Predictive subject line is a machine learning process where-in we take the subject lines, with their open rates, that you have uploaded and try to come up with predictions on the future subject line that you are going to be using.
For this, Campaign takes the subject lines as training data and tries to come up with a significant enough model to predict open rate with at least 95% confidence.
The 400 subject line number is mentioned with "at least" and is only indicative, the model generation will also depend on the quality of these subject lines.
It may happen that even 10k subject lines don't lead to a model generation if they are too similar.
It means that your existing set of 883 subject records is not enough for our predictive subject module to give a high confidence suggestion. Hence the error/warning message.
I would suggest to review your data that you are uploading as the similarity of the subject lines might be the issue here.
Regards,
Vipul
