### Database Structure
**Contacts Database:**
- Name (Title)
- Company
- Role
- How we met
- Last contact date
- Next follow-up date
- Relationship strength (1-5)
- Tags (industry, interests, etc.)
- Notes (rich text)
- Value given (what you've done for them)
- Value received (what they've done for you)
### Follow-up System
<table header-row="true">
<tr>
<td>Relationship Level</td>
<td>Frequency</td>
<td>Method</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Close (5)</td>
<td>Weekly</td>
<td>Call/coffee</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Warm (3-4)</td>
<td>Monthly</td>
<td>Message/email</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Cool (1-2)</td>
<td>Quarterly</td>
<td>Check-in</td>
</tr>
</table>
### Contact Profile Template
```javascript
# [Name]
- **Role:** [Title] at [Company]
- **Met:** [Where/how]
- **Interests:** [Personal/professional]
- **Key dates:** [Birthday, work anniversary]
- **Last interaction:** [Date + notes]
- **Next action:** [What + when]
```
### Value Delivery Ideas
- Share relevant articles
- Make introductions
- Congratulate on wins
- Invite to events
- Offer help on projects
### Weekly CRM Routine
- Monday: Review follow-ups due this week
- Wednesday: Reach out to 3 people
- Friday: Log interactions and update notes
## What to Track
Contact info, Relationship context (how you met, shared interests), Last interaction (date, what you talked about), Next action (what did you say you'd do?), Notes (personal details that matter), Relationship strength (determines follow-up frequency).
## Follow-Up Frequency
Close relationships (mentors, key collaborators): Monthly \| Medium (useful connections): Quarterly \| Loose (acquaintances): 2-3×/year.
## Touching Base Without Awkwardness
Best follow-ups have a reason: share a relevant article, congratulate on a milestone, reference something they mentioned, ask for their opinion on something they know well.
No reason? "Hey, we haven't caught up in a while — would you be up for a 15-min call?" works perfectly for genuine connections.

## Critical rules
1. Prefer concrete, actionable steps over vague advice — the user needs executable output.
2. Ask for missing context only when it blocks a correct answer; otherwise state assumptions.
3. Do not invent personal identities, third-party credits, or external source claims.

## Verification & Quality Checklist

- [ ] The person's actual stated constraints captured, not assumed defaults.
- [ ] Plan is adjustable and states what to do when a week is missed.
- [ ] Cadence is realistic against the time the person actually said they have.
- [ ] Medical, legal, and financial limits respected and stated.

## Anti-Patterns & Constraints

- NEVER give clinical, dietary, or dosage advice as though prescribing.
- NEVER build a plan on unstated assumptions about someone's life or income.
- NEVER set a cadence the person has not agreed is achievable.
