Follow the intake path

Each guide answers one operational question. Together they form a connected first-contact system with explicit professional boundaries.

01
Understand the request
Capture the customer, context, intent, timing, and requested next step without assuming facts or making unsupported promises.
02
Apply the approved workflow
Use verified information, permissions, scripts, and escalation rules while reserving professional judgment for qualified people.
03
Confirm the outcome
Verify the appointment, message, record, owner, and recovery path rather than treating an attempted action as a completed result.
