Execute partner outreach (rc1 Tier-2 B follow-up)

[trilamsr]

Context

docs/partner-outreach.md (landed in #470) ships the artifact: persona list (P1-P12 archetypes), cold-pitch template, talking points, tracker shape, numeric success criteria.

This issue tracks the execution half — the artifact alone does not flip Tier-2 B to ☑ shipped. The cut-criterion's gate script counts non-placeholder rows in the §Tracker table of docs/partner-outreach.md; ≥3 real rows is the threshold.

Definition of done

• SC-1: ≥5 distinct rows in the §Tracker with status ∈ {contacted, meeting-set, feedback-received, pilot-deploy-attempted, declined, deferred} (rc1 may ship with this open).
• SC-2: ≥2 rows with status ∈ {meeting-set, feedback-received, pilot-deploy-attempted} (target pre-GA).
• SC-3: ≥1 row with status = pilot-deploy-attempted + corresponding case-study writeup at docs/case-studies/<operator>.md (v1.0.0 GA blocker per docs/RELEASE-CHECKLIST.md GA gates).
• Tier-2 B cut criterion flips ☐ planned → ⧗ in progress → ☑ shipped on make cut-criteria-render (auto, no manual edit).

Process

Each conversation lands as a PR that:

1. Adds a row to docs/partner-outreach.md §Tracker (one row per person, not per org; one-line notes; no private contact info).
2. Re-runs make cut-criteria-render if any §Tracker status crosses the gate threshold.
3. References this issue in the PR body.

Why this is rc1-prep

Tier-2 items unblock the GA path; rc1 ships with Tier-2 B at ⧗ in progress (artifact ready, conversations not yet started). This issue is the operational lever between "artifact published" and "GA gate cleared."

Not in scope here

• Building case-study writeups under docs/case-studies/ — that's a separate PR per pilot-deploy.
• Audit-funding outreach proper — the partner-outreach.md §2 audit-funding variant references docs/security-audit-rfp.md §Funding plan + gap; that funding workstream tracks separately under [rc1-prep] commission v1.0 GA security audit (RFP-ready) #336.
• Launch artifacts (Tier-2 C) — separate cut-criterion.
