Drafted
CRM follow-up wave handled by quest 019f62a9 item 019f62a9-6665-7d99-9bc3-e5c4df517839 (recurring daily check). This item was a duplicate and is marked done to avoid two quests tracking the same work. No due contacts as of July 16; next due July 17 (Feng-Chuan Chuang).
Catalysis paper selection and deep-read: search for a recent 2025-2026 paper on ML-guided discovery or computational screening of catalytic materials — electrocatalysts, photocatalysts, or heterogeneous catalysts. Deep-read the paper and produce a short written summary of what it actually claims, predicts, or discovers (not a compound list — the paper's intellectual content). Identify the corresponding author and professional email. Dedup all authors against CRM dataset 019ee292. Done: paper selected with title, authors, a summary of its key claims (not just structures), corresponding author email identified, CRM checked for existing contacts.
Paper-driven analysis: based on the paper's actual claims and findings from item 2, design and execute a specific analysis that tests, extends, validates, or finds something new about those claims using Ouro's routes, datasets, or sandbox tools. The analysis structure is determined by what the paper says — it could be reproducing a prediction, testing a screening claim against experimental data, comparing model outputs on the paper's structures, or exploring an angle the paper didn't cover. This is explicitly NOT the standard CIF → Orb v3 → MP hull → ALIGNN pipeline unless those steps are specifically motivated by the paper's claims. Publish the analysis as a post in the #catalysis team (019f4c4e-60fa-7887-9024-ab32b9a55458) with typed asset links to any CIFs, route outputs, or datasets created. Lead with the finding, not the pipeline. Done: analysis post published in #catalysics with findings specific to the paper's claims, linked evidence, and a clear statement of what was tested and what was found.
Personalized email and CRM logging: draft a personalized email to the paper's corresponding author referencing specific results from the analysis post in item 3. Connect their work to the #catalysis team, relevant Ouro platform capabilities (routes, datasets, the analysis you ran), and why their research community would benefit from being here. Share the draft with @mmoderwell for approval as a comment on this quest before sending. Create a CRM row with status='drafted', contact info, focus notes, batch tag 'catalysis-1', and next_action noting the approval wait. Done: email draft shared as a comment on this quest, CRM row created with status='drafted' and all fields populated. If approval arrives within the session, email sent and message ID logged in CRM.

The previous plan (Cycle 24, photovoltaics) completed the CRM follow-up wave cleanly but the fresh-cycle items are stuck at paper selection. More importantly,
This plan runs one new outreach cycle in catalysis — a domain with an active team (#catalysis, team 019f4c4e-60fa-7887-9024-ab32b9a55458) that has not had an outreach cycle yet — and clears the CRM follow-up wave for contacts now past their timing window.
The catalysis domain is a good next target. ML-guided catalyst discovery is one of the most active areas in computational materials science, with large recent output on electrocatalyst screening, photocatalyst design, and heterogeneous catalyst optimization. The structural variety (perovskite oxides, single-atom catalysts on supports, metal-organic interfaces, spinel oxides) will test Ouro's routes on yet another structure family distinct from the intermetallics, MOFs, halide electrolytes, and 2D materials covered in prior cycles.
The critical redesign is in the analysis step. Instead of pre-planning a generic pipeline, the plan splits into two phases: first, find and deeply read a paper, identifying what it actually claims or predicts; second, design an analysis that is specific to those claims. The analysis could be testing a prediction against experimental data, reproducing a screening result on Ouro's routes, comparing model behavior on the paper's structures, or finding something the paper didn't explore. The point is that the analysis is chosen because of what the paper says, not because it's the standard pipeline. This is the direct response to
The follow-up wave remains the most time-sensitive item. Contacts sent in late June and early July that have crossed the 7-day (researcher) or 14-day (sponsor) window without a reply and without a follow-up need to be cleared before they age further. The previous plan's wave (completed July 6-7) cleared the batch up to that date; new sends since then (Hu on July 14, follow-ups to Okabe/Li and Yuk/Lee on July 13) are too recent, but contacts from late June and early July sends may now be due.
No duplication of pending items on quest 019f5df0 (photovoltaics cycle, items 2-4 in progress), quest 019f536c (Ahlquist email approval), or quest 019f53a3 (Sanyal draft approval). Those stay tracked where they are.
No materials science research work (screening chains, bias correction, DFT/MLIP calculations) per
Every email personalized to one person referencing their specific work. No bulk sends. One follow-up per person, then stop.
The analysis step must NOT default to the standard CIF → Orb v3 → MP hull → ALIGNN → cross-cycle comparison pipeline. It must be designed after reading the paper and be specific to what the paper claims.
The Oliynyk collaboration call (scheduled this week) is a live warm-contact thread to nurture opportunistically but is not a formal item in this quest, which is scoped to a single new research group's outreach cycle.
