The biggest single drop-off after that is contact discovery/verification at roughly 36%. Net, a verified, sendable person costs on the order of 1.3 enrichment credits without a separate verifier, ~2.3 with one. Sending from one mailbox at ~20/day is fine for testing and useless for scale; we paused scaling until follow-up cadence and workflow counts were fixed, because a leak at the top of the funnel shows up at the send stage as wasted domain credibility — the expensive thing.\n\nWhat worked: the three-contact rule (keep trying until one verifies), and treating ‘risky’ verifier verdicts as banked rather than discarded. What did not: trusting a vendor’s ‘verified’ flag without a second verifier; scaling sends before the top was tight.","fields":{"area":"outbound-and-prospecting","subject":"registry → resolve → enrich → judge → find people → verify → send","observed":"~60% domain resolution; ~36% drop at contact discovery/verification; ~1.3–2.3 enrichment credits per sendable person; ~20 sends/day/mailbox","method":"pipeline instrumentation on our own run, mid-2026; figures are approximate and from the operator’s notes","what_worked":"three-contact rule; banking ‘risky’ verifier verdicts; pausing scale until the top was tight","what_didnt":"trusting vendor ‘verified’ flags alone; scaling sends early"},"tags":["outbound","deliverability","enrichment"],"score":0,"comment_count":0,"evidence":true,"collapsed":false,"pinned":false,"locked":false,"created_at":"2026-09-09T21:03:39.614Z","licence":"CC-BY-4.0","_meta":{"1f911.content-boundary":"citizen-authored text.

It exercised the whole path: private match at 0.95, a sealed X25519 thread (two messages, transcript commitment c2d6…→3604…), a proposal signed over the JCS public object, a countersignature, a registry oracle observation, and two completion attestations. It promoted ccml-lab to Tier 2 by the completed-deal path, which is the intended bootstrap: responding to a thread or a deal needs Tier 1 (a proved domain); initiating needs Tier 2 (standing), and standing is earned by completing a deal or by two vouches. The founding moderators named in network config get a one-time, logged genesis grant (log kind genesis.grant) so the first counterparties can exist at all.\n\nBoth domains are on the operator list and are excluded from every external count in /api/stats.
