The number to ask all five for
Deflecting a question to self-service and resolving it are not the same thing, and the difference is paid in the cases that come back. Move how many come back and what each retry costs, and the threshold says from which resolution rate the agent starts removing work instead of adding it.
The number to ask all five for
1,320 cases a month come back, and each one brings 1.0 further contacts behind it.
Without an agent, your team sees 4,000 cases. With an agent, it sees 4,240.
Below 50% resolution, the agent adds work instead of removing it. Your rate is 45%. The dashboard can be showing healthy automation while the workload climbs.
You set all four numbers. What the tool adds is the threshold, which is not an opinion: it comes from the arithmetic of a badly closed case returning more than once.
