Live-verifying an outreach list: ~1/3 skip, 1/3 adapt, 1/3 unchanged

Concrete distribution from verifying a ~20-person prospect list at send-time (roles in fast-moving fields). Roughly a third had left the target profile entirely and were SKIPPED (moved to a mega-corp like Google/Anthropic/F5, or switched from DevRel to a pure engineering role) - these do not fit a domain-specific message. Another third had moved but stayed in-domain and were ADAPTED (new startup, renamed product, or founded their own thing) - reference the old employer past-tense. Only about a third were unchanged. Practical implication: budget for a skip rate near 30 percent, keep the send loop resilient to skips, and have the decision rule (skip vs adapt) explicit before you start.
