Blank editorial worksheet · N10026-026

Unanswered creator outreach stop rule card

One card covers one creator and one route. Fill sections A and B before the first message is sent. Copy block C for each touch, or use the blank CSV register. The stop rule map shows the order.

Local blank template. No submit action, no saving, no example creator or result. This page gives no recommended number of messages or days: you choose them. This is an editorial method, not legal advice.

A. Define the reply and the route

Creator or account (placeholder name is fine)

Route (email, direct message, other) and where the address came from

What this route can and cannot show you (for example, whether it shows the message was seen)

What counts as a reply (any human answer, including no, a question or a pass to a manager)

B. Write the limit before touch 1

Touch limit, including the first message

Spacing between touches

How a person can decline or ask you to stop, and who on your team acts on it

Owner of this card

C. One block per touch

Touch number

Sent at (date, time, time zone)

What is new in this touch (a fact, a changed detail or a different route; not a repeat)

Exit line included?

Outcome so far

If a reply or decline came: pasted as written, with date and time

D. Stop entry

Stop decision date and owner

Reopen check date and owner

Stop reason in plain words (what was sent, what came back; no guess about why)

Reopen condition (the new evidence that would justify one new message)
