What the tool should calculate
The most useful version of this tool estimates how many support contacts are created by unclear expectations, how long those contacts take to handle, and what that means in time and labor cost.
This is a planning tool
The goal is not accounting precision. The goal is to make hidden support drag visible enough for a team to act on it.
Best CTA placement
- Mid-page after the explanation of inputs and assumptions.
- End-of-page CTA into a related guide or app recommendation.
- Contextual embeds inside preorder, returns, and shipping guides.
