Outbound programs historically relied on manual research and basic merge-field personalization in sales engagement platforms. Modern teams now orchestrate waterfall enrichment across multiple data providers and apply AI to generate short, evidence-anchored messages at scale. This paper presents a practical framework for designing scalable outreach automation that combines a research workbench (waterfall enrichment, deduplication, verification), AI-assisted drafting (workbench-native or sequencer-native), deliverability safeguards, and simple governance. We outline integration patterns, operational guardrails (SPF, DKIM, DMARC), playbooks, and limitations so B2B teams can adopt personalization responsibly without heavy custom engineering. While examples reference common tools, the pattern is portable to any stack with equivalent capabilities
