Subject: Who owns {{initiative}} execution at {{company}}?

Hi {{name}} — quick question so I don’t spam the wrong person.

For {{company}}, who owns execution for {{initiative}} after {{trigger_event}} — you or {{alt_owner}}?

If it’s you, I can send:
- a short “signals → shortlist → draft” workflow
- a one-page checklist your team can reuse
- a few copy examples tied to {{metric}} (so it’s measurable)

If it’s {{alt_owner}}, I’m happy to reach out directly and keep you out of the thread.

Which way should I go — and if it’s you, are you open to a quick 12-minute call to align on {{initiative}} timing?
