Sharpen Your Judgment

Get pressure-tested on which problems matter, which questions to ask, and how to prioritize

A VIP customer is demanding a full refund 60 days past our return window. They've been with us for 8 years and spend $45K annually. I'd just process the refund to keep them happy.

Thinking
AssessUser defaults to appeasement without weighing precedent risk against churn risk — classic CSAT-at-any-cost trap
LocateMissing: lifetime value calculation, precedent analysis, de-escalation technique selection, partial-resolution alternatives
DecideChallenge the binary framing — there are resolution paths between full refund and flat refusal that protect both the relationship and policy integrity
An automatic refund avoids the confrontation but sets a precedent. What's the *real* risk — losing this customer's $45K/year, or training every VIP to expect policy exceptions on demand?
