Measure the current state
If 30 completed jobs each month produce only three review requests because the process is manual, 27 earned moments go unused. The value cannot be promised, but the operational miss is visible.
Solution

CloseDay can place the review request after the approved completion event, keep it tied to the customer record, and route negative or unresolved feedback to a person rather than blindly broadcasting it.
