# How can a software team use AI to write clear reviews after an outage or incident, so the real causes get fixed and customers get an honest account?

Start from alerts, logs, the chat channel used during the incident, timeline notes, changes deployed around that time and support tickets. AI can draft a timeline, a plain summary of customer impact, the likely contributing causes and follow-up actions, and flag gaps where the record is unclear. The engineers involved check every fact, keep the review blameless, agree owners for each action, and leaders approve any message sent to customers.

## What this means in practice

- Use alerts, logs, incident chat, timeline notes, recent changes and tickets as the source
- Draft a timeline and a plain summary of customer impact
- Suggest likely contributing causes and follow-up actions
- Flag gaps where the record is unclear for the team to fill in
- Engineers check every fact, keep it blameless and agree owners for each action

## How Lid Vizion approaches it

We start with the business decision and operating context, define ownership and measurable milestones, then use configuration, integrations, automation, or custom software only where each earns its place.
