Why this helps
New relationships can get lost when contact creation immediately competes with other founder tasks.
- Creates a consistent review moment
- Reduces missed relationship follow-up
- Keeps contact intake from disrupting focus

- 3Tell Notis to sleep in Bench for 25 minutes after a new Outlook contact is added.

- 5Test it by adding one real Outlook contact.
Questions about this workflow
Does this enrich the contact?
No. It only starts the Bench Sleep action after Outlook reports a new contact.
Can I use a shorter review delay?
