FAQ architecture for answer engines
The FAQ Desk
Priya Nair turns scattered customer questions into clustered FAQ systems with schema, ownership, and answer paths clear enough for both executives and answer engines to trust.

Constrain the answer

02 / BOARDROOM FAILURE MODE
The dumping ground is the risk
A page of miscellaneous questions is not governance. It hides duplicate intent, contradicts sales promises, and teaches answer engines to distrust the source. The FAQ Desk treats every question as an intake signal: what it belongs with, who is allowed to answer it, what schema can carry it, and where a concise answer belongs.
