Set a narrow, authorized scope

Document the purpose, permitted sources, allowed records, audience, and accountable outreach manager. Do not extend access beyond that scope.

Limit and protect retained information

Collect only what business prospect outreach requires. Restrict access, set a retention period, and keep credentials and private details out of broad messages or logs.

Define source and exception checks

Set checks for stale, incomplete, conflicting, or uncertain inputs. Preserve the original evidence and provide a clear human handoff when the result cannot be verified.

Keep release and decisions human-approved

Respect source terms and applicable outreach laws, retain opt-outs, avoid sensitive inferences, verify relevance and address accuracy, and require approval before sending. A outreach manager must approve any external, consequential, or hard-to-reverse action.
