DOCUMENT-BASED SUPPORT · Workflow idea

Answer questions from trusted material—and say when the material falls short.

For an organization authorized to process selected support documents, make approved reference material searchable and prepare responses to questions using relevant passages. Keep each answer tied to its source, maintain document access boundaries, and explain when the evidence is missing, stale, or unclear. Protect questions and uploaded files, collect only material approved for the intended audience, and route sensitive or consequential answers to a qualified person.
