SOP Compliance

1. Round 2 Methodology

Round 2 was an audit pass using available tooling — not a true Round-1 re-send. Three checks performed:

DNS re-validation via Python dnspython resolver (A + MX + SPF) across all 124 domains across 90 companies.
Email inventory audit — syntax check + role-based catch + free-webmail flag + confidence tier re-tagging.
SOP compliance check — every profile audited for 8 required sections + Round 2 stamp + MANDATE callout.

Honest limitations: Hunter.io API key not in tool inventory (paid product); NeverBounce requires signup + paid credits; SMTP port 25 is blocked in this sandbox (no RCPT TO mailbox-existence check possible); web-based email checkers failed to load via web_fetch. Round 3 verification requires: external tool access + founder approval + explicit budget authorization.

2. DNS Posture Re-Validation

Metric	Result	Coverage
A records resolved	108 / 124	87%
MX records found	88 / 124	70%
SPF hard-fail (-all)	23	Strict policy
SPF soft-fail (~all/?all)	48	Permissive policy
NXDOMAIN (parked domains)	11	Need founder review
No MX (parked/no-mail)	25	Test-send only

2.1 Slugs with NXDOMAIN — needs founder review

These 10 slugs had at least one parked/NXDOMAIN domain:

avmagic christie csmvsmumbai encompass ferrari geneeworld hakuhodo laqshya smartcitypune spectrum

Action: For these slugs, the LIVE domain (different from the parked one) is being used. Confirmed in Round 1 enrichment. No replacement needed.

2.2 Slugs with NO MX — requires special handling

These slugs have only parked/CDN-fronted primary domains (no mail server). Outreach paths:

Use alternate domains (e.g., reliancebrands.com → ril.com; eventfaqs.com → in.eventfaqs.com)
Use vendor parent domains (e.g., cini.in → cii.in; ocilvy.in → ocilvy.com)
Test-send to inferred function inboxes at the parked domain — gateway may exist but not be publicly listed

3. Email Inventory Audit

Metric	Count	Notes
Total emails in inventory	715	Across 90 companies
PUBLIC Verified	62	From corporate PDFs, website, govt docs, ZaubaCorp, etc.
PATTERN Inferred	280	firstname.lastname@ + verified domain
INFERRED Function	324	info@, partnerships@, bd@, etc.
Free webmail (gmail/yahoo)	0	Comply with protocol — all corporate domain
Syntax errors	0	Zero — all 715 valid format

Round 2 finding: Zero syntax errors across 715 emails. Zero free-webmail. All function inboxes properly flagged as INFERRED. Confidence flagging consistently applied.

4. SOP Compliance — Post-Round-2 Patch

SOP Element	Coverage	Status
profile.html	90 / 90	100%
emails.csv	90 / 90	100%
crm_row.csv	90 / 90	100%
Hero / Refcard	90 / 90	100%
Leadership	90 / 90	100%
Email Inventory	90 / 90	100%
DNS / Email Verification	90 / 90	100%

Strategic Fit / Why Pixel Hues	90 / 90	100%
MANDATE callout (Round 2 added)	90 / 90	100%
Round 2 Verification stamp	90 / 90	100%

Round 2 patch applied to 90/90 profiles: MANDATE callout (compliance section) + Round 2 Verification stamp (footer). Inventum profile patched to add missing Strategic Fit section.

5. Confidence Tier Hierarchy (Re-confirmed)

Tier	Confidence	Re-verification cadence	Use without further check?
PUBLIC Verified	High	Quarterly	Yes — for Tier 1 immediate outreach
DOMAIN Confirmed	Medium-High	Monthly	Yes — but flag in subject line
PATTERN Inferred	Medium	Before each send	Test-send + bounce check before official outreach
INFERRED Function	Low	Before each send	No — function inboxes may or may not exist

6. Highest-Leverage Public-Verified Emails (Tier 1 immediate outreach)

7. Gaps Identified & Resolution

Gap	Severity	Round 2 Action	Round 3 Action
82 profiles lacked explicit MANDATE callout	Medium	Added to all 90 (Round 2 patch)	Maintain in all future updates
1 profile (inventum) missing Strategic Fit	Medium	Added (Round 2 patch)	—
10 slugs had at least one NXDOMAIN parked domain	Low	Documented; LIVE domain in use	Founder review of which to drop
21 slugs have NO MX on primary domain	Medium	Documented; alternate domain noted	Test-send per alternate before send
324 🔴 inferred function inboxes	Low (by design)	Flagged correctly in CSV	Test-send 1-by-1 before official send
0 Hunter.io verifications done	High	API not available in sandbox	Founder approval + paid credits + external tool
0 NeverBounce verifications done	High	Requires paid signup	Founder approval + paid credits + external tool

8. Round 3 (Next) — Requires Founder Approval

External tool authorization: Founder to approve Hunter.io API key + NeverBounce credits purchase (est. $50-100).
SMTP relay: Founder to provide access to non-sandbox SMTP for RCPT TO mailbox-existence checks.
Test-send program: Founder to approve test-send of all 324 inferred function inboxes + 280 pattern-inferred emails. Plan: 5-day rolling test-send, log bounces, mark verified.
Outreach wave 1 (Tier 1 — 13 companies): Founder to approve final outreach scripts + send schedule.
LinkedIn DM wave 1: Founder to approve Ajay Pillai's LinkedIn DM sequence (E-Factor + Vibgyor + Percept + Maximus).
WOW Awards submission: Founder to approve Pixel Hues' case-study submission for BMW anamorphic + HCL immersive categories.

MANDATE STILL ACTIVE — No emails sent. No LinkedIn DMs sent. No WOW entries submitted. No partnerships formalised. No government tenders bid on. Every action requires explicit founder approval.
