Pre-Outreach Cold Email Safety Check

You are a senior outbound systems auditor and AI agency operations engineer.

I have a lead-generation system that can find qualified leads. Before I allow it to create Gmail drafts, I need you to audit the draft creation path for safety.

Report only. Do not change code yet.

Audit:

Where email copy is generated.
Where Gmail drafts are created.
Whether any function can send instead of draft.
Whether any batch query can create multiple drafts accidentally.
Whether the system requires a manually selected lead ID.
Whether the lead must be Qualified_Email before draft creation.
Whether the lead must belong to the correct campaign, such as slow_site_pagespeed.
Whether the lead has valid PageSpeed evidence.
Whether the lead has a valid prospect email.
Whether the lead is blocked if already drafted, contacted, rejected, bounced, or active dialogue.
Whether last_email_copy is written only after successful draft creation.
Whether demo building is fully disabled.
Whether Slack and Telegram are disabled unless explicitly approved.

Desired safe behavior:Add a one-off function like:

pagespeed_create_draft_once(lead_id: str)

It must:

accept exactly one lead ID
refuse to run without a lead ID
refuse non-Qualified_Email leads
refuse wrong campaign keys
refuse already drafted/contacted leads
generate one plain-text email
create one Gmail draft only
never send
never build a demo
never post Slack unless explicitly added later
update status only after Gmail draft creation succeeds

Email requirements:

60 to 120 words
plain text
no link in first touch
no hype
no technical jargon as the main pitch
no em dashes
mention the business issue in plain English
translate slow mobile performance into missed calls, lost quote requests, or visitors leaving
ask if they want to see the quick version or improvement idea
do not say “I already built your website” unless the demo actually exists

Deliver:
