Channel
Direct line: support to IC. Not through ticketing.
Real-time. Customers tell support things engineering hasn't seen yet.

Support filters. Anomalies and patterns reach the IC, not every individual report.
IC trusts the filter.
Act
Support's signal updates the IC's mental model.
Sometimes shifts the investigation.
