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

Hi {{name}} — last quick one.

For {{company}}, who owns the workflow for {{initiative}} during this hiring push — your team, or {{alt_owner}}?

If you point me to the owner, I’ll send:
- the one-page checklist
- a few copy examples aligned to {{metric}}
- the “stop rules” (when not to send because context is missing)

If it’s you, are you open to a quick 12-minute call to confirm how you’re measuring {{initiative}} impact over the next {{timeframe}}?
