Implementation impact

Operational / business

Riders and support staff may receive inconsistent outcomes, increasing disputes and failed trip expectations.

Technical

The application cannot enforce a complete transition policy until product and operations make the missing decisions.

Recommended action

Approve a cancellation decision table covering ride stages, actors, reasons, fees, and user messaging before expanding the interface.

Acceptance criteria

  • An approved decision table defines cancellation permissions and outcomes for every ride stage, and product tests cover each allowed and rejected transition.
