Clear answers before the next action.
What should a free-agent follow-up message include?
Include the player’s likely fit, the relevant placement or division fact, what happens next, and one easy CTA. Keep it concise and avoid claiming certainty when placement is not guaranteed.
When should a human take over?
Escalate exceptions involving sensitive fit issues, disputed placement, policy ambiguity, refunds, or any action the operator has not explicitly approved.
