Where it starts

## The trigger.

A donor, member or volunteer asks a question through the website, email or a supporter portal.

How it runs today

- A small team answers the same questions about receipts, renewals and events every week.
- Replies are slow during campaigns and events, when volume peaks.
- Answers vary and sometimes quote outdated details.

The workflow

## Four bounded steps.

Each step has an owner and a stop rule.

1. 01 / Collect
   Gather approved pages and policies on giving, receipts, memberships, events and volunteering, each with an owner.
2. 02 / Answer
   Answer routine questions from those sources only, showing where each answer came from.
3. 03 / Route
   Send questions about a specific gift, payment, complaint or personal circumstance straight to staff.
4. 04 / Review
   Staff review a sample of answers each week and fix sources that caused wrong or missing answers.

Where people stay in control

## Approval points.

- Staff handle every question about a specific gift, payment, refund or complaint.
- Supporter data is accessed only as the organisation’s privacy policy allows.
- Every source document has an owner who keeps it current.

How we would measure it

## Against a baseline.

Measured before and after, on the same work.

### Share of routine questions answered from approved sources.

### Time to first response during campaigns and events.

### Answers corrected in weekly review.
