Capture the moment of confusion
The widget sends nine small fields; design the invitation and the follow-up around exactly those.
A feedback triage that ends in decisions
Run the inbox against five statuses and one comment thread so the session ends in commitments.
Write a review goal that can be answered
The goal steers link choice and findings inside four pages, five model calls and 230 seconds.
Evidence before a recommendation
How a review decides which findings survive: numbered excerpts, server-written quotes, a skeptical second pass.
A widget launch checklist that checks delivery
A loading script proves almost nothing; the origin allowlist is what silently blocks a submission.
Check the release, not just the task
A closed task is a fact about your tracker; only fresh page evidence says the visitor's problem is gone.
Send context with the work
What travels into TopDo when feedback becomes work, and why the delivery is signed.
Review client work with a shared record
Run feedback and AI reviews for a client so the record is shared and the access boundary holds.
Plan review usage around a question
Treat AI reviews as a counted, bounded resource and spend each one on a question worth settling.
Keep feedback private by design
How the widget takes enough to act on, refuses the rest twice, and what that refusal costs you.
