<b>The 3-Touch Reclamation Cadence</b>
One email is a coin flip. A gated sequence is a process.
1 — Touch 1 (day 0): report the specific 404, name the page it sits on, offer the replacement URL.
2 — Wait gate: 4 business days, no auto-follow before it clears.
3 — Touch 2 (day 5): one-line bump, re-state the broken anchor text verbatim.
4 — Wait gate: 5 business days.
5 — Touch 3 (day 10): final note, add a second use-case for the link.
6 — Close the thread; no fourth touch.
Automation fits at the wait gates — schedule sends, but draft each touch from a reviewed template, never fully auto.
<i>Definition of done:</i> every prospect is at touch 3 or marked closed, with zero contacts pinged twice in one window.
