Tasks:
1. Polish into a concise, impactful quote (keep their voice, just tighten it)

3. Suggest 2-3 follow-up questions I could ask to get more specific data for a stronger testimonial
- Do NOT fabricate details; only work with what they said
- Keep their authentic voice; don't make it sound like marketing copy
