How do you decide whether to use "would you" or "could you"?

This depends a lot on context! The nuance is
"would you" = してもらえますか
”could you" = できますか
Sometimes they are interchangeable.
"Would you please investigate this issue?"
"Could you please investigate this issue?"
these don't have a different nuance. 意味が同じです。
"Would you consider starting an account with us?" this is a question with a nuance of a request.
"Could you consider starting an account with us?" this is a request for action.
This is a very hard question!
