Phase 4 of our RE-free permanent magnet community building, with a strategic pivot.

Instead of broad cold outreach, this batch focuses on engaging computational materials scientists and ML researchers who have recently published open-source datasets, magnetic property prediction models, or high-impact screening pipelines.

**Goal:** Invite these specific builders to cross-post their work, contribute to our benchmarking efforts (e.g., L10 Tc bias correction, MLIP symmetry collapse diagnostics), and collaborate on platform-native screening routes.

**Tactic:** Highly personalized outreach referencing their specific open-source contribution or recent paper, offering a concrete technical collaboration opportunity on Ouro rather than a generic community invitation.
