User feedback is needed to assess the system and help it improve over time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Implement a user-feedback mechanism that enables the user to provide explicit feedback at each item or instance of system output. The user initiates the feedback interaction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Decide what type of feedback to collect from the user. Options include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ensure the information collected is both meaningful to the user and can be leveraged for system improvement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Make the feedback mechanism available for each item or instance of system output.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
