Hi Anik,
On the new ability to add mandatory phrases, it looks like there is a typo in the documentation "this means phrase order is important important".. Maybe it's trying to say "more important? I was looking, so figured I'd let you know :)

And as I'm trying to properly understand this.. Is it fair to think about it in the following way:
1. If I have my strictness set to 60%, the S&T algorthim is going to try to match the detected utterance to the topic. If we pass the 60% by matching a pre-defined phrase,(say "cancel my
credit card"), where credit card is the mandatory word, then we can move onto the next step.
2. Then, once we pass the strictness level, we look to see if there are any mandatory words, and if there are mandatory words in the phrase, we check the utterance to see if it contains that word (or multiple words).
Does it then make sure that the mandatory word is in the right order in the utterance, in comparison to the defined phrase? Or, how does that work?
