  1. Open New AI chat

    A useful issue brief explains both the reported behaviour and the customer impact. Open New AI chat to recover the context behind a missing export column.

  2. Choose the evidence

    Use the support evidence available to you. Keep what the customer observed separate from the technical details that still need checking.

  3. Ask about the reported issue

    Ask for the reported behaviour, expected result, workflow impact and open technical questions. Submit the question to give Product an investigation starting point.

  4. Review the brief

    The missing region column means Maya sorts rows by hand. Format, version and reproduction steps still need checking. Open the source behind that report.

  5. Open the support call

    Maya can see Region on screen but says it is missing from the exported file. Read the transcript to check the observation and its impact.

  6. Read the customer’s report

    She expects the same columns in the file and needs Region to split the report. The cause is still unconfirmed. Return to the brief.

  7. Give Product a useful investigation brief

    Collect the exported file and reproduction steps. Product can investigate with the customer’s workflow in view, instead of starting from a context-free bug report.

When to use it

Engineering needs a precise description of a customer problem before investigating.

Start with

  • Relevant customer and support conversations

How to do it

  1. On Home, ask about the specific customer support conversation and reported issue.

  2. Review the reported behavior, intended workflow, impact and unanswered questions.

  3. Open the source, then add reproduction evidence separately before Engineering investigates.

Ask Meetric

From Northstar’s support conversation about the missing region column, prepare an issue brief. Include reported behavior, intended workflow, customer impact and technical questions still unanswered.
