Service Desk Framework - Reduced tickets 80% in 6 months

I built this framework after managing one of those "hot potato" product areas nobody wants - a Core Platform team drowning in 100+ service desk tickets.

Years of chaos. Then 6 months of building systems. Result: 20 tickets, sustainable operations.

The Problem:
Most PMs try bug bash sprints, more headcount, or better triage. None of it sticks because they treat symptoms, not systems.

What Actually Worked:
6 specific interventions applied in sequence:

Root cause analysis sessions (weekly)
Engineer rotation system (capacity protection)
Documentation-first culture
Prevention mechanisms
Proactive monitoring
Stakeholder education

The Framework:
I documented everything into a 47-page resource:

4-stage maturity model (diagnostic to find where you are)
Interactive health scorecard
Implementation overview
Real transformation metrics (100→20 tickets, 80% reduction)

Sharing it free because I couldn't find resources like this when I was drowning: [Gumroad link]

My Question for the Dev Community:
For founders/PMs dealing with internal tools, support, or operations - what's your biggest challenge? Is it:

Engineering capacity getting eaten by support
Lack of clear systems/processes
Stakeholder management
Something else?

Would love to hear what's actually painful for you.
