Frequently asked questions
Do I need a dedicated CS person for an MVP?
Not necessarily — the founder or a support team member can run this playbook manually at small scale.
What if I have very few customers?
That's the ideal time to build this playbook — close, manual attention at small scale often produces your best case studies.
How specific should the escalation trigger be?
Specific enough to automate as an alert (e.g. 'no login for 14 days'), not a vague 'if they seem unhappy'.
