What you approve, and what Dylan does on his own.
Nothing goes out until you say yes. After that, Dylan acts on his own only to protect you or to carry out what you approved.
What you approve
Some decisions should never be automatic, because they carry your name or your money. These wait for you:
- the meeting definition: the titles, company sizes and regions that count, set before anything is sent;
- the plan: who Dylan will write to, why, and the forecast;
- the first emails;
- the first emails of every new angle.
Why every new angle, and not just the first email ever? Each angle is a new promise in your name: a new claim, a new reason, a new tone. You should see every promise once before it is repeated at scale.
What a person at Belkins reviews
Before the plan reaches you, a person at Belkins reviews it. A person at Belkins reviews your plan and emails it within one business day.
Belkins, the B2B lead generation agency behind Dylan, has run outbound since 2017.
What Dylan does on his own
On his own, he acts for only two reasons: to protect you (pacing, pausing, keeping your do-not-contact list), or to carry out what you already approved.
The rules that must never bend are plain, deterministic code: same input, same result, whatever any model thinks.
- A reply stops sending to that person. The moment a reply is read, every further scheduled email to that person stops, by rule, before any AI sees it.
- The do-not-contact list is checked again at send time, not only when the list is built.
- Send windows in the recipient's time zone. Emails go out at hours that make sense where the recipient is.
- A record of who did what. Every action records who took it: you, a person at Belkins, an agent or the system itself.
Replies
Dylan answers routine replies himself and hands you anything about pricing, legal or complaints. Routine means scheduling and questions your brief already answers.
The reasoning behind this split is in Agents judge, people approve, code protects.
