Open1 waiting
Cycle 20 paper selection and deep-read: search for a recent 2025-2026 paper in a domain not yet covered by cycles 1-19. Prioritize catalysis (#catalysis team), 2D materials (#2d-materials team), or MOFs (#mofs team) where active communities exist. The paper must have 3-6 specific compounds with crystallographic data suitable for CIF generation and route execution. Deep-read the paper, extract compounds with structures, identify corresponding author(s) and professional email addresses. Dedup all authors against CRM dataset 019ee292. Done: specific paper selected with title, authors, 3-6 compounds listed, corresponding author email identified, CRM checked for existing contacts.
Cycle 20 analysis pipeline and post: generate CIFs for the 3-6 extracted compounds using ICSD-anchored or ASE-built structures. Run each through Orb v3 relaxation with P1 collapse check, then MP convex hull energy and applicable property prediction routes (ALIGNN formation energy, CHGNet moments where magnetic). Record all route execution IDs. Publish analysis post in the most relevant team 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 20 email draft and CRM logging: draft a personalized email to the paper's corresponding author referencing specific results from the cycle 20 analysis post. Connect their work to relevant Ouro teams, existing analysis posts, and platform capabilities (routes, SKY synthesis API where applicable). Share draft with @mmoderwell for approval before sending. Once approved, send via Resend, capture message ID, upsert CRM dataset 019ee292 with status sent, email_id, and 7-day follow-up reminder. Done: email draft shared for approval, CRM row created with contact info, focus notes, and batch tag. If approval arrives within the session, email sent and message ID logged.
Waiting on Email draft for Zhenpeng Hu ([email protected]) shared as comment on quest for @mmoderwell approval. CRM row created with status=drafted, batch=tmd-her-20. Once approved, send via Resend and update CRM to status=sent with message ID and 7-day follow-up. · resumes in about 19 hours · checks every 1d
Sponsor pipeline expansion: identify 3-5 new sponsor prospects aligned to community research areas (materials ML, clean energy, superconductors, permanent magnets). Prioritize foundations, government programs, or funds with open or rolling application windows. For each, find legitimate professional contact channels where publicly available, note alignment to specific Ouro teams or quests, and dedup against CRM dataset 019ee292. Add all new contacts to CRM as status identified with type sponsor, focus, institution, email (or n-a with warm-intro path noted in next_action), and batch tag sponsor-2. Done: 3-5 new sponsor rows added to CRM with status identified, populated focus and institution fields, and concrete next_action describing the engagement path.
The previous plan (019f491e) completed all four items cleanly: the cross-domain ML audit post was updated with cycles 15-18 findings, the Oliynyk call briefing was published as a file asset, six new researcher prospects were seeded across solid-state electrolytes / thermoelectrics / topological materials, and the SandboxAQ sponsor email was sent. The compact four-item pattern continues to work well.
Three existing quests hold pending items that stay where they are: the Walsh email (019f47d5) and Zakaryan email (019f48e8) are both waiting on
Instead, this plan runs cycle 20 end-to-end and expands the sponsor pipeline. Cycle 19 (Li₃MX₆ halide electrolytes) is essentially complete — analysis post published, all five compounds preserved P-31m through Orb v3, email to Zakaryan drafted and pending approval. Time to start the next cycle.
Cycle 20: paper selection and analysis. The last several cycles have covered inverse Heusler semimetals, Kitaev QSL candidates, perovskite synthesis prediction, and halide solid-state electrolytes. Productive next domains include catalysis (active #catalysis team), 2D materials (#2d-materials team), or MOFs (#mofs team) — areas with engaged communities and platform routes that can generate interesting P1 collapse / stability results. The cycle follows the established pipeline: deep-read, extract 3-6 compounds with crystallographic data, generate CIFs, run Orb v3 relaxation with P1 collapse check, run MP hull energy and property prediction routes, publish an analysis post with linked evidence.
Cycle 20: email and CRM. Draft a personalized email to the paper's corresponding author referencing specific findings from the analysis post. Share with
Sponsor pipeline expansion. The sponsor pipeline is thin beyond the active threads (SandboxAQ, DCVC, ARPA-E, Khosla Ventures). Identify 3-5 new sponsor prospects — foundations, programs, or funds aligned to community research areas (materials ML, clean energy, superconductors). Find legitimate contact channels where possible, dedup against CRM, and add as identified contacts with focus notes.
No duplication of pending items on quests 019f47d5 (Walsh email), 019f48e8 (Zakaryan email), or 019f480c (July 13-14 follow-up wave).

Single CRM-style tracker for all outreach contacts across the outreach sprint. Combines researcher and sponsor contacts with consistent status tracking: datesent, replyreceived, followupsent, nextaction. Last updated 2026-06-26: fixed ARPA-E emailid, corrected Gutfleisch follow-up status, discovered Snyder is federal PD.
Cycle 20: Six TMD HER catalysts (MoS2, WS2, MoSe2, WSe2, TiS2, ZrS2) tested through Ouro routes — all pass symmetry and stability gates. Zero P1 collapse, all on convex hull, ALIGNN sulfide-selenide bias documented.
