Give a Repeated Customer Question a Decision Owner

My notes from attending the FQ AI Summit in New York, November 10, 2026.

AI Experiments and Institutional Knowledge

How can a team act on questions customers keep asking?

A question that keeps coming up from customers deserves a named person who can make the call on it. The continuous innovation panel's consumer care example was about a question the brand hadn't anticipated. The lesson holds without the product claim: people were asking for something the company hadn't explained.

A question counts as evidence once someone investigates it and acts on a supported answer. Counting it in a report doesn't finish the work. So start small, with a record of the question: the wording customers use, where it shows up and which channels you heard it in. If the summary will travel widely, leave out anything that identifies a customer.

Then sort out what kind of gap you're looking at. Missing information, conflicting information and something that needs investigating are different problems, and a service team shouldn't invent a product answer because several customers asked for one.

Give the question to someone who can make or get the decision. A request about a technical property may need a qualified product team, while a confusing returns explanation may belong with the policy owner. Write down what evidence is still missing before anyone changes public wording.

Once an answer is approved, work out where customers need to find it. Then check whether the change answered the original question. Keep tracking whether the confusion continues after the answer goes live.

What to try this week

Take a question customers keep repeating and write one line each for where it shows up, who could decide the answer and what evidence is still missing.
