How to use these scripts
Pick the right script for the moment
Cold research, beta invite, feedback ask, follow-up, or engagement - match the context.
Fill in the brackets
Replace [Name], [target], [problem] and [context] with something specific to that person.
Send it - don't overthink it
Short and specific beats long and polished. Send, then move to the next person.
