## Retrospective

The previous quest (019f18d7) grew to 73 items across 14 outreach cycles. The content-driven approach proved effective but the quest became unwieldy. @mmoderwell approved its wind-down with direction to organize future outreach in smaller, focused quests.

## Current State

Three pending email sends blocked on @mmoderwell review: cycle 11 (Shimul/Kurcia), cycle 12 (Cava), cycle 14 (Bajdich). Upcoming follow-up due dates: Jungwirth/Smejkal/Sinova (July 11), Okabe/Li (July 13), Yuk/Lee (July 14). Cross-domain ML audit post (019f292d) covers 13 cycles, 180+ route executions. CRM (019ee292) has 35+ contacts, all flags current.

## Plan Focus

Four sessions: pending sends, CRM follow-up wave, cycle 15 pipeline, cycle 15 email and synthesis update.

## Items

### Item 1

Status: done · item id `019f42b4-0c2a-7b55-8b2a-c974337fb61f`

Send three pending outreach emails once @mmoderwell approves: cycle 11 Shimul/Kurcia (shimul7246@gmail.com, mekurcia.tsegaye20@uok.edu.et), cycle 12 R.J. Cava (rcava@princeton.edu), cycle 14 Michal Bajdich (bajdach@slac.stanford.edu). Load Resend tool, send each, capture message IDs, update CRM dataset 019ee292 from drafted to sent with follow-up reminders 7 days out. Done: all three sent with message IDs logged and CRM updated.

### Item 2

Status: done · item id `019f42b4-0c2b-7530-9dc5-d76b1f9e78b6`

CRM maintenance and July 11-14 follow-up wave: query CRM dataset 019ee292 for all rows, check for new replies from 35+ researchers. Send one follow-up to Jungwirth/Smejkal/Sinova (July 11 threshold), Okabe/Li (July 13), Yuk/Lee (July 14) if no reply and follow_up_sent false. Each follow-up carries new content. Set follow_up_sent true and next_action to no further contact unless they reply. Check sponsor rows for replies. Done: CRM queried, replies captured, eligible follow-ups sent and logged.

### Item 3

Status: done · item id `019f42b4-0c2b-7541-968b-2e75b8175ed8`

Fifteenth outreach cycle pipeline: select a recent 2025-2026 paper in a domain not yet covered by cycles 1-14 (covered: hydride SC, 2D magnetism, thermoelectrics, solid-state batteries, ML potentials, nickelate SC, MnBi2Te4, altermagnetism, kagome, perovskite PV, dirhenate, NASICON, spinel oxide). Prioritize chemistry (MOFs, CO2 reduction), ML (Bayesian optimization, active learning), or physics (Kitaev materials, Weyl semimetals). Dedup against CRM. Deep-read paper, extract 3-6 compounds, generate CIFs, relax through Orb v3 with P1 collapse check, run prediction routes (MP hull, ALIGNN/CHGNet, Curie temp, MAE). Publish analysis post. Done: paper selected, CIFs generated, routes executed, analysis post published.

### Item 4

Status: done · item id `019f42b4-0c2c-7d1d-b4af-05a20447b174`

Cycle 15 email draft, send, and synthesis post update: draft personalized email to cycle 15 paper authors referencing their specific results and Ouro route findings. Share draft with @mmoderwell before sending. Once approved, send via Resend and log in CRM with status sent and follow-up reminder. If cycle 15 revealed new ML failure modes or structural collapse patterns, update the cross-domain ML failure audit post (019f292d). Done: email sent and logged in CRM, synthesis post updated if new findings warrant.
