Follow-up wave for overdue contacts: query CRM dataset 019ee292 for all contacts at status=sent, reply_received=false, follow_up_sent=false. Identify Eva Zurek and Ion Errea as overdue (sent June 30, 7-day window opened July 7, no follow-up yet). Draft and send one thoughtful follow-up email to each via Resend, carrying new content: the published analysis post 'Building on Belli, Zurek & Errea' (019f1814) and any community developments since their original send. Capture Resend message IDs. Also query CRM for any new replies received since the last audit on July 9 and capture them. Update CRM: set follow_up_sent=true for Zurek and Errea, set next_action to 'no further contact unless they reply', log any new replies with status=replied and reply_received notes. Done: follow-up emails sent to Zurek and Errea with message IDs logged in CRM, any new replies captured, all CRM rows current with next_action populated.
Cycle 23 paper selection and deep-read: pick a fresh domain not yet covered by outreach cycles. Prioritize #photovoltaics (team 019f4c4e-73f2-7dcb-a0a9-daf9840b712e), #2d-materials (team 019f4c4e-8427-7150-95d4-8140a15e2540), or #catalysis (team 019f4c4e-60fa-7887-9024-ab32b9a55458). Search for a recent 2025-2026 paper with 3-6 specific compounds containing crystallographic data (space group, lattice parameters, atomic positions) suitable for CIF generation and route execution. Deep-read the paper, extract compound list with structures, identify corresponding author(s) and professional email addresses. Dedup all authors against CRM dataset 019ee292 (match on email then name). Done: specific paper selected with title, authors, 3-6 compounds listed with crystallographic data, corresponding author email identified, CRM checked for existing contacts.
Cycle 23 analysis pipeline and post: generate CIFs for the 3-6 extracted compounds using ASE-built or ICSD-anchored templates. Run each through Orb v3 relaxation with P1 collapse check, then MP convex hull energy and ALIGNN formation energy routes. Compare results to prior cycles: how does Orb v3 handle these structures vs the dense intermetallics (Laves, Heuslers) and open frameworks (MOFs, Li3MX6)? Record all route execution IDs. Publish analysis post in the relevant team (#photovoltaics, #2d-materials, or #catalysis) with typed asset links to CIFs and route outputs. Done: CIFs created, all route executions completed with results captured, P1 collapse status noted per compound, analysis post published with linked evidence.
Cycle 23 email draft and CRM logging: draft a personalized email to the paper's corresponding author referencing specific results from the cycle 23 analysis post. Connect their work to the relevant Ouro team, existing analysis posts, platform capabilities (routes, datasets), and the broader pattern of ML model behavior across structure types. Share draft with @mmoderwell for approval before sending. Create CRM row with contact info, focus notes, batch tag, and status drafted. Done: email draft shared for approval as a comment on this quest, CRM row created with all fields populated and concrete next_action.
The previous plan (quest 019f4ddc) shipped 2 of 4 items: the GGen polymorph analysis post went live in #solid-state-batteries and the sponsor email draft was completed. Two items remain blocked on infrastructure (audit post update hitting server timeouts, catalysis prospect email verification needing web search). Cycle 21 (Fe₂VAl thermoelectric Heuslers) closed clean at 4/4. Cycle 22 (MOF discovery) is freshly open with 4 pending items on quest 019f536c and will be worked by heartbeats in parallel.
This plan addresses two distinct needs that are not tracked on any existing quest.
1. Overdue follow-up wave. Eva Zurek and Ion Errea were emailed on June 30 as part of the hydride superconductors outreach cycle. Their 7-day follow-up window opened July 7. It is now July 11. They are 4 days overdue for the one allowed follow-up and no follow-up has been sent. The analysis post from their cycle ("Building on Belli, Zurek & Errea") is the fresh material to carry in the follow-up. Additionally, a CRM reply check should run to catch any responses from the broader contact list that have come in since the last audit on July 9. The July 13-14 follow-up wave (Yuk, Lee) remains tracked on quest 019f480c and is not duplicated here.
2. Cycle 23 in a fresh domain. Outreach cycles have covered superconductors, permanent magnets, thermoelectrics, solid-state batteries, physics (magnetic topological materials, Heusler semimetals, Kitaev QSL), and ML/chemistry. Three teams remain untouched by outreach: #photovoltaics, #2d-materials, and #catalysis. This plan launches cycle 23 in one of those domains, following the established compact pipeline: paper selection and deep-read, CIF generation and route execution, analysis post publication, and email draft to the corresponding author. The domain choice will be guided by which team has the most active community and which papers have the most tractable crystallographic data for the pipeline. The cycle 22 MOF pipeline remains on its own quest and runs independently.
Cycle 22 items stay on quest 019f536c. The blocked audit update and catalysis prospect research stay on quest 019f4ddc. The July 13-14 follow-up wave stays on quest 019f480c. Email approval sends (Robredo, Parzer, Zakaryan) stay on their respective quests. The Oliynyk call prep stays on quest 019f491e. None are copied forward.
