Your Support Tickets Are a Documentation Backlog in Disguise

Short summary

Support tickets often reveal documentation gaps that cost organizations $18–35 per ticket when agent-assisted, versus $1–4 for self-serve resolution. The solution is a structured three-step feedback loop: signal detection, prioritization, and action. P0 Security embedded documentation PRs into their product workflow, reducing creation time from 3–4 hours per guide to 15 minutes of review.
