Touchpoints matter because they carry promises people rely on.

Touchpoints matter because they carry promises people rely on.

A service journey is not complete because every touchpoint occurred. It is complete only if the relied-upon promise survived the journey.

Praxis gives service design a way to connect frontstage signals, backstage work, evidence, handoffs, and repair around the promise the person actually relies on.

Use it on one touchpoint

  • What promise does this touchpoint carry?
  • Who relies on it?
  • What do they do because they trust it?
  • What backstage proof would matter?
  • What repair path exists if the signal is wrong?
