Pack
Put all 3 briefing items in one email
Case list, Client authorisation letter, Contact rules — sent together, so the assignment is not held up waiting for one attachment.
Pilot
Start with a small set of locations
Run a first batch, read contactability status per case and correct the checklist wording before the rest of the list goes out.
Contacts
Name one escalation contact on each side
