Your tier-1 support agent collects screenshots, asks clarifying questions, and escalates to engineering, who discovers the issue is a misconfigured Redis cache that anyone with log access could have diagnosed in thirty seconds. This scenario plays out thousands of times daily across.

The gap between support teams and engineering teams has never been wider - or more expensive. Every vague bug report, every "it's broken" ticket, every back-and-forth clarification thread burns hours that compound into weeks of lost productivity.
