Service targets
The target that actually keeps customers.
For anything taking more than a day, the update commitment matters more than the resolution target. "We will update you every day at four" is a promise you can keep even when there is nothing to report.
Silence is measurable
Days since the customer last heard anything is tracked directly, because that is what the customer actually experiences.
"No news" is a valid update
Still investigating, nothing new, next update tomorrow. Teams avoid sending these and they are exactly the ones that preserve trust.
It is a promise
An update commitment creates a tracked promise with a due time, and shows on the same list as every other commitment to that customer.
SLAs

Response and resolution targets that a small team can actually maintain.
Take better care of every customer.
Give your team the context, knowledge and AI they need to resolve problems properly — and know who needs attention before they ask.
