Why this is the next action
The retained outreach ledger records nine first messages, no replies, and
follow-up dates no later than August 12. Sending another cold batch would widen
the funnel before completing the existing conversations. This packet proposes
one follow-up to each existing recipient through the same authorized channel.
Eligible accounts
- `museum-of-new-zealand-te-papa-tongarewa`
- `nasher-museum-of-art-at-duke-university`
- `smart-museum-of-art`
- `benton-museum-of-art-at-pomona-college`
- `center-for-creative-photography`
- `colby-college-museum-of-art`
- `allen-memorial-art-museum`
- `museums-victoria`
- `art-gallery-of-ontario`
The operator must re-check the original destination and use the same channel.
This repository packet deliberately contains no names, email addresses, phone
numbers, or newly inferred contacts.
Exact follow-up copy
Subject: Follow-up: bounded Linked Art collection pilot
Hello,
I’m following up once on my earlier note about Meta Museum’s Managed Linked Art
Launch Pilot. The offer is a fixed-scope evaluation of one collection export:
reviewed Linked Art records, a small browse/API slice, and an evidence packet
covering source, rights, validation, and unresolved decisions.
If this is relevant to your collection-data plans, would a 20-minute fit call be
useful? I can send the one-page scope first. If it is not relevant, no reply is
needed and I will close the outreach record.
Meta Museum does not claim that your organization needs this work, and this
message does not imply an existing relationship, endorsement, or permission to
use collection data.
Best,

Approval and send boundary
Before any send, an accountable operator must approve:
- the exact account IDs and original channels;
- the exact copy above, including the sender identity;
- one follow-up only, with no automated sequence;
- immediate suppression for an opt-out, wrong recipient, or negative reply;
- a dated immutable send receipt without personal contact data in this repo.
Approval is not a send. After an approved real send, record each event with:
pnpm pilot:outreach -- --account=<account-id> --stage=followed_up --occurred-at=<ISO timestamp> --owner="<operator>" --evidence=channel=<same-channel> --evidence=messageRef=<provider-receipt> --evidence=closeIfNoReplyAt=<YYYY-MM-DD>
The ledger permits only one follow-up per account and requires a prior sent
event. Do not mislabel a follow-up as `replied` or `qualified`. A reply is not a
qualified conversation until an accountable human applies the qualification
rubric.
Success evidence
pilot or revenue claim.
- At least one genuine reply tied to a prior sent message.
- At least one reply qualifies for a bounded buyer conversation.
- A signed scope and invoice reference remain separately required before a paid
