Messenger: Support triage and conversation operations

Messenger matters only if the evidence supports a paid workflow around reducing support load and keeping customer conversations moving, not a list of isolated fixes. The current commercial thesis is: Support-heavy sites lose time when repeated questions, comments, chats, and unresolved issues are scattered across tools. The entry wedge is to group repeated conversation patterns, generate support-ready diagnostics, and route urgent threads before they become churn.
