-
-**P**roblem:  
-Customers can't find their past orders quickly. They have to scroll through pages of orders to find what they're looking for, leading to 15+ support tickets per week.

-All 5,000+ active customers are affected. Support team spends ~10 hours/week helping customers find orders.

-Add a search bar that filters by order number, date range, and product name. Success = 50% reduction in order-finding support tickets within 2 weeks of launch.

-## Tips for Success
-
-1. **Be specific** - Vague problems lead to vague solutions
-2. **Quantify when possible** - Numbers help us prioritize (e.g., "20 customers asked for this" vs "customers want this")
-3. **One idea per submission** - If you have multiple ideas, submit multiple templates
-4. **Success metrics matter** - How will we know this worked?
-5. **Honest sizing** - Better to overestimate than underestimate
