Frequently asked questions
What response time should an MVP target?
Under 24 hours is a reasonable early target; tighten it as volume and team size allow.
Do I need a ticketing system on day one?
No — a shared inbox or simple form is enough until volume outgrows it.
Who should own escalation?
Name a specific person, even if it's the founder, so urgent issues never sit unowned.
