  Clarify: Customer runbooks must be executable and include access, expected results and rollback steps. The scope excludes proactive or project work and uses about 20 minutes as an incident-workflow guideline. Failed steps are documented and escalated; this is not unlimited remediation.
  Source / checked: https://gethelpt.com/policies/helpt-service-scope / 2026-11-06
  Clarify: The scope says technicians do not search the customer knowledge base for relevant processes. They ingest workflows or use direct article links; changed procedures need notification and three business days to update. Agree who maintains those links and notices.
  Source / checked: https://gethelpt.com/policies/helpt-service-scope / 2026-11-06
  Clarify: Caller verification needs a configured customer tool. If the selected secondary option fails or none is selected, the scope says to escalate with notes and do no further work. The password-reset section also permits an explicit verification waiver; define authorized exceptions and approvals.

  Source / checked: https://gethelpt.com/termsandconditions / 2026-11-06
  Clarify: The homepage displays immediate first-call response, first-ticket response below 30 minutes and a target of resolving 75% of frontline tickets. These are provider-published targets, not measured results or a signed SLA. Obtain the eligible ticket population, clock rules, exclusions and remedy.
