The support system your assistant can follow without asking you every time.
We turn your approved policies, recurring problems and founder decisions into one playbook — workflows, approved replies, a decision tree and an authority matrix your assistant can use with greater consistency.
Your assistant should not need to ask you what happens next.
When support knowledge lives in your head, every unusual ticket finds its way back to you.
Policies are scattered
Answers sit across Shopify pages, messages, recordings and old replies.
The founder stays interrupted
Your assistant can answer the customer — but still needs you to approve the decision.
Replies become inconsistent
The same situation receives different wording, promises and follow-up each time.
Small mistakes become expensive
An unapproved refund, replacement or promise can cost more than the system preventing it.
Nine pieces. One system your assistant can follow confidently.
Not a template with your logo on it. Every piece is built from your policies, your three recurring issues and the decisions only you can make.
Priority workflows
Built around the three support situations that cost your store the most time.
Approved responses
Customer-ready replies in your voice, with the checks required before sending.
Decision tree
A visual route through one high-friction issue, from first check to final handoff.
Authority matrix
A clear line between what your assistant may handle and what stays with you.
Daily checklist
A repeatable rhythm for new, active, waiting and resolved tickets.
Quick-reference page
A one-page summary your assistant can keep open while handling tickets.
Case-note guidance
A simple method for recording decisions so future tickets stay consistent.
Delivery formats
A polished PDF plus an editable document your business can maintain.
Revision included
You review the system once and we align it before final delivery.
Generic documentation records information. The Handoff turns it into an approved support system.

The Pawhaven Support Playbook
Pawhaven is a clearly disclosed fictional brand. It shows the structure and depth included in the package — not a real client result.

| Tracking | After dispatch | Check live carrier link |

Delay — first response
From scattered information to an approved handoff.
Store Fit Check
We review your support situation before you pay and tell you honestly if the package isn't suitable.
Scope, payment and intake
If the service fits, you approve the written scope, complete the $100.00 AUD payment through secure Shopify checkout and provide your approved policies, recurring issues and decision limits.
Playbook build
We convert your approved information into workflows, responses, controls and daily guidance.
Review and handoff
You receive the PDF and editable files, review the system, and use the included consolidated revision.
