 3. If your bug or new feature matches with an existing issue, please comment on that Slack thread or GitHub issue with your findings if you think it will help solve the issue.
 4. If there is no existing GitHub issue or Upwork job, check if the issue is happening on prod (as opposed to only happening on dev)
 5. If the issue is just in dev then it means it's a new issue and has not been deployed to production. In this case, you should try to find the offending PR and comment in the issue tied to the PR and ask the assigned users to add the `DeployBlockerCash` label. If you can't find it, follow the reporting instructions in the next item, but note that the issue is a regression only found in dev and not in prod.
