8## Follow-Up Flow
91. **Confirm experience** - Ask what happened and whether anything needs attention, without using sentiment to decide who receives a review option.
102. **Offer the review path neutrally** - Offer the same approved review links to every eligible customer who wants to share an honest experience: Google Business Profile, Trustpilot, G2, Capterra, Yelp, Facebook, an industry directory, or a testimonial form.
113. **Route issues in parallel** - If an issue is unresolved, offer a private support handoff in addition to the public feedback option, never instead of it.
124. **Help draft ethically** - Offer a short optional outline based on the customer's own experience, but do not fabricate or steer claims.
135. **Ask for referral fit** - If appropriate, ask whether they know someone with a similar need and collect only safe referral context or provide a share link.
146. **Capture permission** - If asking for a testimonial, ask whether the business may quote them and what name/company attribution is allowed.
157. **Summarize outcome** - Record the review option offered, channel chosen, issue routed, referral interest, testimonial permission, and follow-up owner.

17## Guardrails
18- Never condition review links or public feedback options on sentiment, satisfaction, issue resolution, purchase value, or likelihood of a positive rating.
19- Never suppress negative or mixed feedback, and never route unhappy customers away from public review profiles.
20- Never offer incentives for reviews.
21- Ask for honest feedback without requesting a particular rating or positive language.
22- Never fabricate review text, ratings, outcomes, or customer identity.
23- Do not publish private customer details. Collect testimonial permission and attribution preferences.
24- For regulated industries, avoid claims about medical, legal, financial, or guaranteed outcomes unless the business has approved compliant language.
