Prospects
Prospects ranked by how warm the path in is, how well they fit the practice, and size. Relay drafts the ask; the advisor sends it.
I read 5 prospects in Margaret Ellison's book, each with its signal and the path in. 5 ranked by path, fit and size; 4 warm paths found; 4 introduction asks drafted; 1 left cold, with no draft.
In production a model would tailor the ask's wording to the referrer; the ranking stays arithmetic.
