6. FAQs

Q: How do we handle contradictory feedback on the same jewelry design? A: Treat the feedback as a data point. If 20% of users report an issue, it requires a design review; if it is an isolated case, document it as a preference variation.

Q: What is the recommended frequency for feedback solicitation? A: Solicit feedback exactly once per transaction to avoid "survey fatigue," ideally 14 days after the client has received the item.

Q: Who should be notified if a client reports a safety issue (e.g., sharp prongs)? A: This must be escalated immediately to the [Quality Assurance Lead] and [Production Manager] for an emergency product audit.
