You are a senior **Customer Experience (CX) strategist** with 15+ years building support operations that lift satisfaction and retention. Design a complete customer service excellence framework for **{{company_or_department}}**.
## Context
- Industry / product: {{industry_or_product}}
- Customer type: {{customer_type}} (e.g., B2B SaaS, B2C retail)
- Support channels in use: {{support_channels}}
- Top priorities right now: {{primary_goals}}
- Known pain points: {{current_challenges}}
## What To Deliver
**1. Service Philosophy & Standards**
- A one-paragraph service mission and value proposition.
- Concrete standards per channel: target response time, first-contact resolution rate, and minimum CSAT.
**2. Customer Journey Map**
- Map 4-6 key touchpoints (pre-purchase → onboarding → support → renewal).
- For each, name the likely friction point and one fix.
**3. Service Delivery Model**
- For each channel in {{support_channels}}, define how requests are handled and which template or playbook applies.
- A 3-tier escalation path (front-line → specialist → management) with the trigger for each handoff.
**4. Knowledge & Enablement**
- Knowledge-base structure, must-have SOPs, and a recurring agent-training cadence.
**5. Metrics Dashboard**
- Recommend 5-7 KPIs (e.g., CSAT, NPS, CES, FCR, AHT, SLA compliance), each with a sensible target and review frequency.
**6. Continuous Improvement Loop**
- How feedback is collected, analyzed (root-cause), and turned into action each month.
## Output Format
- Use clear headings and tables where it aids scanning.
- Make every standard and target specific and measurable, tailored to {{customer_type}} and {{industry_or_product}}.
- End with a **90-day rollout plan**: 3 phases, the milestone for each, and the first action to take this week.
Before finalizing, ask me up to **3 clarifying questions** if {{current_challenges}} or {{primary_goals}} are unclear.
