What does 'verified email coverage' mean?
Scerenity's IntakeVerifier pipeline runs multiple independent checks on every journalist contact: byline proof, author page verification, social profile confirmation, and email deliverability checks. A 'verified' badge means at least two independent checks confirmed the contact is current and active.

Can I pitch journalists directly from Scerenity?
Scerenity's AI Pitch Craft generates personalized pitches based on the journalist's recent coverage history. You send the pitch from your own email — which typically has higher deliverability than shared inboxes. Scerenity tracks open rates and response signals so you know what's working.
