Decision inputs
Facts that change the policy answer
For this request, prospect role, company facts and an outreach template is the input boundary and personalised prospect messages is the output boundary. A useful check makes both explicit.
- 1Task and owner
- Growth marketer wants to personalise sales outreach copy. Record the person who will stand behind personalised prospect messages after the tool has finished.
- 2Information involved
- Prospect role, company facts and an outreach template. Check uploads, history and connected systems before describing the request as low sensitivity.
- 3Tool and account
- An approved company account. Approval must cover the account and its settings, not merely the product name.
- 4Intended result
- The expected result is personalised prospect messages. Its destination matters: private working material creates a different consequence from a sent, published or automated result.
- 5Consequence if it is wrong
- Personal data can be over-collected and generated familiarity can become misleading. The policy route should reflect this possible harm instead of relying on how ordinary the task sounds.
- 6Human review
- sales operations lead should inspect, change, reject or stop the result. Review is meaningful only when that person has enough context and authority to change the result.
Possible policy routes
The task name alone cannot decide it.
A published workplace policy can return different answers for the same task. These are the practical branches worth encoding.
A routine policy route may be possible
The company can consider a standard route where the exact account is approved, only the minimum prospect personal information is used, personalised prospect messages remains within the stated purpose, and sales operations lead reviews it before use.
Approval may be required
The request moves beyond routine handling when the account or data handling is uncertain, personal data can be over-collected and generated familiarity can become misleading, or personalised prospect messages reaches people or systems beyond the requester’s authority.
The request may need to stop or change
The policy may require another method where restricted information would enter an unapproved service, the output would act before sales operations lead can intervene, or use verified business facts and avoid invented relationships or sensitive personal inferences cannot be maintained. Consider less information, a controlled account or a non-AI process.

About this AI use
Is using AI to personalise sales outreach copy automatically allowed?
Permission depends on the facts submitted for this request. A different tool, information class, region or use of personalised prospect messages can produce another route.
When is the request detailed enough to decide?
Describe personalised prospect messages, identify prospect role, company facts and an outreach template, name the exact tool and account, explain who will receive or rely on the output, and state how sales operations lead will review it.
How should a later reviewer understand this decision?
Preserve who accepted personalised prospect messages, when they did so and which rule version they applied. A classification and controlled reference may be enough when copying prospect role, company facts and an outreach template would create unnecessary risk.
