Use When

• Handling a live service issue (complaint, error, delay, escalation, public-channel post).
• Drafting service language: apology, empathy, ownership, timeline, confirmation, escalation, refusal.
• Designing or auditing the service recovery and retention loop.
• Measuring service quality across response, resolution, recovery, retention.
• Aligning frontline empowerment with escalation paths and knowledge management (CX-EX alignment).
• Building a prevention loop so the same failure does not recur.

Do Not Use When

• The work is pre-sale conversation; use premium-client-sales.
• The work is product feature evaluation; use product-discovery.
• The work is internal team conflict unrelated to a customer; use a coaching framework.
• The work is marketing copy at the top of the funnel; use the marketing/positioning skill.

Required Inputs

• The customer's words (verbatim where possible) and the channel they used.
• Account context: tenure, value, prior issues, contract terms.
