Expected deliverables
Support ticketTroubleshooting noteEscalation packageHelp articleKnown-issue updateSupport insights report
Recommended workflow
- Document five common Web3 support scenarios
- Build a safe troubleshooting and escalation flow
- Write a report showing how support evidence should change product or documentation
- Review the result against the rubric, then package it as a case study.
Constraints and safety
- Use only public sources or clearly simulated data.
- Never include seed phrases, private keys, or wallet secrets.
- Redact private user, company, security, legal, or compensation information.
- State every assumption you make.
Tools in practice
- Zendesk or Intercom
- Triage cases, preserve account and transaction context, use approved macros, and escalate security or product issues without requesting sensitive credentials.
- block explorers
- Verify transactions, contract addresses, events, token movements, deployment state, and incident claims against chain data.
- internal admin tools
- Inspect account or transaction state under least-privilege access and record every sensitive action.
- Notion
- Draft, review, and maintain support ticket and troubleshooting note, with owners, source links, and change history.
- Linear or Jira
- Track decisions, dependencies, bugs, and owners connected to support ticket and troubleshooting note; the ticket is a coordination record, not the work itself.
- status and incident tools
- Check current service state, link cases to active incidents, and keep user-facing explanations aligned with confirmed technical facts.
What a strong submission shows
- A troubleshooting decision tree
- Three anonymized case studies
- A support-to-product insight report
- A safe macro library
Weak submission patterns
- Fast-response screenshots with no resolution quality
- Asking users for sensitive credentials
- Generic empathy scripts with no diagnostic logic
Review rubric
- Accuracy of claims and sources
- Relevance to the target role
- Decision quality and trade-offs
- Completeness of the deliverable
- Clarity of communication
- Honest limitations and next steps
Present it as a case study
- Explain the problem, sources, decisions, ownership, constraints, output, review, and what you would change.
- Show the final artifact before the process notes.
- State what you owned and what belonged to other people.
- Label the work as simulated, and keep any real contribution clearly separate.
