Direct answer
Lead response agents should extract, score, draft, and queue for send - with gates on first outbound and CRM writes that change pipeline truth. Speed matters; unreviewed sends destroy trust.
What good looks like
- Workflow map exists before build
- Irreversible actions have owners and gates
- Tools of record are explicit
- Success is defined as finished work quality, not model verbosity
What bad looks like
- Demo theater without production path
- Unowned automations
- Invented metrics instead of operational evidence
