A customer has escalated hard, insisting your product is broken, but the fault is in their own integration. How do you run the investigation and deliver the finding?

When a customer insists a product bug is actually their integration issue, investigate from a shared request ID, prove the boundary failure with reproducible evidence, and deliver the finding without embarrassing the customer engineer.

A renewal-at-risk account is demanding three features, and the roadmap is already committed to other customers. How do you handle it, including if the answer is no?

Handle renewal risk and roadmap requests by translating each feature ask into a business outcome, separating true blockers from workable preferences, and giving either a dated commitment or a clear no. A soft maybe prevents the customer from planning. Use this renewals answer to show the decision, trade-off, and evidence rather than a memorised definition.

An enterprise account's usage has flatlined six months after an onboarding everyone called a success. How do you work out why?
