Questions, answered
Straightforward answers for visitors evaluating the product.
Can this template be used for an unnamed story?+
Yes, but be clear about what is verified, what is anonymised, and why the customer is not named.
Use the answer as a starting point for the team’s operating decision, then confirm current ownership, configuration, and support expectations in the linked materials. Keep the reviewed version attached to the evaluation record.
What makes a metric credible?+
Define the measure, period, baseline, owner, and method rather than publishing a standalone percentage.
Run a representative class through draft, review, and publish states before relying on the output for a reporting deadline. Check which role owns corrections after the result becomes visible to families.
