Why public sector teams ask this
Notices must reach everybody and be provable afterwards. It usually surfaces the first time a real list goes out, when citizen notices, appointment reminders and emergency alerts stop being a plan and become a send.
What it changes for you
Get this right and the outcome is reach you can evidence in a report. Get it wrong and the cost shows up quietly, in messages nobody read and money already spent.
Doing it in the platform
The compose screen shows the segment count, the cost and the sender name before anything leaves, so the decision is made before the money moves.

Is this different for public sector teams?
The mechanics are the same. What changes is the volume and the timing, because public sector teams mostly send citizen notices, appointment reminders and emergency alerts.
