Is a team lead the right person to email?

Often they're the truth-teller even if they can't sign. Write like you're helping their team survive the week. If you need budget, ask them who owns it instead of pretending they can PO a platform from Slack. Name the stall they care about, offer one small next step, and stop before the thread feels like a sequence.
