🟢 AI-Enhanced Process (1–2 Hours)
- Ingest knowledge base + ticket history (automatic)
- Identify intents & surface top resources per intent
- Auto-orchestrate omni-channel delivery rules
- Closed-loop learning from outcomes & feedback
TPG standard practice: Start with high-volume intents, maintain human-in-the-loop review on low-confidence matches, and A/B test recommended paths vs. control to validate uplift before scaling.
Key Metrics to Track
Measurement Tips
- Resolution definition: resource consumed + no ticket opened within 72 hours.
- Attribution: tag each suggestion with intent, resource ID, channel, and model confidence.
- Guardrails: route suggestions with low confidence to agent assist rather than self-service.
- Equity check: monitor uplift by segment to avoid unintended bias.
