📬 Emails Since Last Plan

• Alicia Harper accepted the May 9 demo (May 6 evening). Status flipped from needsAction to accepted. No reminder needed, but a 24 hr courtesy ping with the agenda is a good move.
• Razorpay subscription test (May 6) — sub_Sm8vFcDdGhONwr Slate Plus subscription was initialised at ₹5 and auto-refunded. Confirms the subscribe + refund path works on the prod Razorpay account. Worth a manual end-to-end test today before Alicia's demo.
• K-12 cold outreach (sent May 5) — still zero replies from McGraw Hill, HMH, Savvas, Newsela, Great Minds, Canvas, Sidwell. 3 days in. Standard reply window is 5 to 10 days, so not dead yet. No follow-up today.
• Zoom welcome — FYI, account provisioned. Not blocking anything.
• Cold outreach noise — Trailblazer (Ameer) has now sent 2 follow-up newsletters after canceling. growthitpartners.com (Terrence) still cold-mailing. Both safe to ignore or unsubscribe.
• OpenAI Startup Drop (May 7) — GPT-5.5 + new Agents SDK announcement. Worth a 5 min skim if you're rebuilding any agent code.
• Promo / nurture — Calendly trial ending, Arcads, startupbuffer. Ignore.
