Overview

Sort a business's incoming customer reviews into practical queues—praise, complaint, product issue, delivery problem and urgent escalation—so a human can respond to the right cases first.

Why it works

Businesses can receive dozens or hundreds of reviews without having a dedicated person to sort them. The value is in prioritization: the owner sees urgent issues quickly and gets a useful picture of recurring complaints.

How it makes money

Per deliverable + retainer

How to start

  1. Choose one review source and agree on the escalation categories with the business owner.
  2. Export a small historical review sample and label 50–100 reviews manually.
  3. Build categories around the client's real issues, such as product, delivery, billing and service.
  4. Create the AI classifier and require a short reason for each assigned category.
  5. Test the classifier against the manually labelled sample and correct weak rules.
  6. Add an urgency flag for safety, legal, refund or reputation-sensitive cases.
  7. Build a review queue in a spreadsheet or helpdesk view.
  8. Run a one-week paid pilot and have the client approve every escalated case.
  9. Send a weekly pattern report showing the biggest complaint themes.
  10. Use those patterns to suggest FAQ, product or service improvements.
  11. Offer ongoing weekly triage and reporting as a retainer.
