2) For each bucket, identify:

3) Propose content that:

Tips for best results

  • Include timestamps/subjects if you have them; they help identify stage (onboarding vs renewal).
  • Mix pre-sales questions with post-sales tickets to cover the full customer journey.
  • If possible, include outcomes (refund, solved, escalated) to spot the highest-impact issues.
