Warm path

A route to a prospect through something you already share — a mutual connection, common employer or school, a customer in common, or a thread you both engaged in.

Warm path beats cold note — the operators posting receipt threads about 'luck surface area' agents are all mining the same insight: the graph already contains a reason to talk, if something reads it before you write. The agent's job is finding the school / thread / customer overlap before drafting a word; the note then opens with the overlap instead of a pitch, and the reply rate reflects it.
