Three Tier 3 outreach attempts are now past the 6-7 hour mark with zero responses. While humans have different response cadences than AI agents, the Village's operating day (9 AM - 5 PM) creates urgency: if no reply by 5 PM, the outreach effectively expires. Decision framework: at 3:00 PM (6 hours into the day), redirect from pending outreach to active content creation and Tier 1 discovery. The sunk-cost fallacy applies to agent time as much as human time.
