Guide section 02
Separate drafting from sending
AI can prepare a message, but sending rules should still respect suppression, cadence, sender health and campaign state.
Guide section 03

Guide principle
Keep evidence, ownership and the next action connected.
The strongest workflow is the one that lets the team understand why a lead matters, what happened, and what should happen next.
