HARVARD / MIT CONTACT — 60-second call (happy · honest)
goal=rung2 witness · NOT co-sign Pbps/FTL/zero-heat

OPEN (smile in voice)
  "Hey — thanks for taking this. I'll be quick. We built a small
   reproducible memory benchmark called native_mill. We're freezing
   a Rung 1 archive and looking for one independent timing witness."

WHAT IT IS
  "Two lanes only: memcpy and pack rates on a named Linux host.
   Public method pack is up. Zenodo DOI pending. Clear scope —
   not claiming optical world records or faster-than-light."

THE ASK (one thing)
  "Could you — or someone in your lab — give us 1–3 hours to either
   (a) run our pack on your machine, or (b) watch our door run,
   then write one paragraph: host, OS, clock, observed MT/s?"

WHAT YOU'RE NOT ASKING
  "Not asking you to co-sign physics-defying claims. Those labels
   are parked. We want a fair stress-test."

IF YES
  "I'll email the method URL and sponsor one-pager right after this.

   https://gotokell.hitme.dev/method_rung1/SPONSOR_ASK.txt"

IF MAYBE / BUSY
  "Totally fine — a referral to HPC, systems, or applied physics
   who likes reproducibility would be gold."

IF NO
  "Appreciate the time. Door stays open. Take care."

CLOSE
  "Thanks again — means a lot. Talk soon."

HAPPY NOTES FOR BRI
  · You already did the hard part (method + honesty)
  · One paragraph witness > a thousand model nods
  · No is still progress (map who cares)
  · Uncle soft-ask OR warm faculty — both count
