This deal went dark after the proposal: [PROSPECT, WHAT WE PITCHED, LAST THING THEY SAID, HOW LONG SILENT]. Diagnose first: the four most likely reasons for the silence given their last message, ranked by fit to the evidence. Then write the revival sequence: the no-guilt bump (new information, not 'just checking in'), the direct ask (is this dead?), and the graceful close file note that leaves the door open. Tell me when to stop - the point where one more touch costs more reputation than the deal is worth.

What good output looks like
Diagnosis comes from their last words, not generic fear; zero 'just checking in'; a hard stop point is named; the close note preserves the relationship
