Critical Findings (review before approving live flip)
HIGHoutreach_sends table missing Node 5.1 queries outreach_sends for dedup, but table is named outreach_actions/outreach_events. Dedup gate silently fails - contacts with prior test sends would be re-contacted on next real run. Fix: update 5.1 node query to correct table name.
HIGHSPEAKER template uses [First name] not {{first_name}} Subject line: 'AI Safety Crisis Summit: masterclass invitation for [First name]'. Square brackets are NOT substituted by the workflow. All speaker emails will have literal '[First name]' in subject. Fix: change to {{first_name}} in template.
MEDIUMEU AI Act date - Aug 2, 2026 without Dec 2027 caveat INVESTOR, PARTNER, GOVERNMENT templates reference 'August 2, 2026' as sole urgency hook without the Digital Omnibus Dec 2, 2027 extension. bs-ops flagged enforcement likely delayed. The COMPLIANCE template correctly handles both dates. Others need the dual-date framing to avoid stale urgency claims. Note: {{days_to_aug2}} = 50 days (Aug 2) or 537 days (Dec 2, 2027).
LOW8 of 9 sendable contacts are icp=speaker The not_started pool with known icp_segment is 70%+ speakers. The workflow will batch heavily toward speaker outreach. Verify this is intentional before first_wave_cap=10 fires.

Subject: AI Safety Crisis Summit: masterclass invitation for Dr.
Email body (884 chars)
Hi Dr.,
I'm Adrien Harrison, founder of Better Societies. I run the AI Safety Crisis Summit, an ongoing virtual masterclass series featuring previous speakers like Roman Yampolskiy (Superintelligence expert), Wendell Wallach (U.N., Yale), Alan Winfield (IEEE), Risto Miikkulainen (UT Austin, neuroevolution), Raja Chatila (IEEE Ethics), and 20 others at the frontier of AI safety and governance.
I'd love to offer you a masterclass slot: a 60-90 min deep session shared with our audience of AI practitioners, compliance leads, policymakers, and researchers.
There's no preparation overhead beyond what you already know. You bring the ideas; we handle promotion, scheduling, and distribution.
If this sounds interesting, would a quick call this week work?

Subject: Nabiha, AI safety advocacy briefing for Mozilla Foundation
Email body (752 chars)
Hi Nabiha,
I'm Adrien, founder of Better Societies. The EU AI Act enforcement window (50 days to December 2, 2027) is one anchor for the conversation. The longer fight on existential and near-term AI risk extends well beyond.
The AI Safety Crisis Summit speaker network (25 confirmed including Roman Yampolskiy, Wendell Wallach, Alan Winfield) covers the full spectrum from near-term governance gaps to existential risk frameworks. The conversations happening in these masterclasses directly inform advocacy strategies at organizations like Mozilla Foundation.
I'd value a quick call to share what's coming in the next set of sessions and explore whether there's a fit with Mozilla Foundation's work.

I'm Adrien, founder of Better Societies. We help organisations comply with the EU AI Act ahead of EU AI Act enforcement (first high-risk AI obligations August 2, 2026 - 50 days away). The AI Safety Crisis Summit speaker network behind our consulting includes 25 confirmed AI safety leaders.
The partnership angle I have in mind: code4thought's [specific service] complements our compliance consulting in a way that's directly relevant to the same buyer. A referral arrangement or co-marketing could work well for both sides.
Worth a 20-min call?
