Business owners struggle to collect customer reviews because customers often fail to complete full reviews later, and there is no easy way to capture positive sentiment in the moment.

Existing review collection methods either ask for a full review upfront (which feels like a big ask) or rely on follow-up emails (which get ignored). There is no simple way to capture a lightweight positive signal immediately after the service and then convert that into full reviews.
