Task

Create an objective verification checklist to review cold outreach emails targeting {{civic_stakeholder_role}} in {{target_municipality}}, ensuring absolute adherence to municipal ethics codes while presenting {{vendor_solution}} to address {{community_benefit_focus}}.

Method

1. Evaluate the opening greeting to confirm appropriate formal title and civic protocol for {{civic_stakeholder_role}}.
2. Review the value proposition to ensure {{vendor_solution}} explicitly targets {{community_benefit_focus}} instead of commercial features.
3. Audit all pricing references to confirm alignment below {{procurement_threshold}} or transparent adherence to RFP boundaries.
4. Verify that the proposed engagement respects the designated timeframe of {{pilot_timeline}} without requiring unbudgeted city expenditure.
5. Inspect all public records and open-meeting disclosures mentioned to ensure accurate context for {{target_municipality}}.
6. Check that the call-to-action focuses on informational peer-learning rather than hard commercial sales pressure.
7. Review transparency statements ensuring no conflicts of interest or gift policy violations are implied.
