Cultural Tip

In Italian business communication, 'feedback' is widely accepted, but in very formal documents you might prefer 'riscontro' or 'parere'. The progressive form 'stiamo aspettando' sounds polite and neutral; avoid using a simple present ('aspettiamo') if you want to stress that the waiting is ongoing.
