3. Document Key Details and Timelines
Beyond the text, log metadata critical for disputes:

4. Maintain a Professional Tone
Write all responses as if they will be read by a third-party arbitrator. Be clear, factual, and solution-oriented. This strengthens your position if the log is ever used as evidence.

Periodically review open tickets. Once resolved, close the ticket with a final summary note (e.g., "Solution provided on [Date], customer confirmed receipt"). A complete, closed log is a finished case file.
