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.

Hi [First Name],

You mentioned [pain]. A short working session is the fastest way to see if we can help.

The version of this that matters for engineering leaders and IT owners who have seen every vendor trick is cut vendor questionnaire turnaround from 3 weeks to 4 days with a cleaner security pack. I can do [Day] at [Time] or [Day] at [Time] in your timezone. If neither works, reply with a window and I'll bend.

Prefer async? I'll send the brief today.

Best,
[Your Name]
