Tier 1: warm (SDR call this week)

Active trigger event (funding, C-level join, hiring spike) + ICP match. Kavex Triggers flags these automatically. Highest CAC payback.

Tier 2: medium (email sequence)

ICP match but no recent trigger. Multi-touch email cadence with AI personalization per lead.

Tier 3: cold (LinkedIn nurture only)

Adjacent ICP / unverified emails / catch-all only. Don't burn email reputation; LinkedIn connect + occasional value-share content.
