Read The Report
Open Reports → Impact Dashboard. The summary shows your automation rate. For the conversations that escalated, open Reports → Handoff Insights — it clusters handoffs by reason so you can see why the AI gave up, not just how often.Prioritize The Fix
Work top-down through the reasons. Don’t try to fix everything in one pass.| If most handoffs say… | The fix lives in… |
|---|---|
| ”Couldn’t find an answer” or “No relevant knowledge” | Knowledge sources — add missing docs, enable a crawler, sync a help center |
| ”Needed to take an action I can’t” — look up order, cancel, refund | AI Actions — build the endpoint the AI asked for |
| ”Topic should not be handled by AI” | Handoff topics — you’ve already configured this correctly |
| ”Customer asked for a human” | Nothing to fix — explicit requests are always honored |

Monthly — open the escalated list
Read 10–20 escalated conversations end to end. Cluster them by root cause. Each cluster becomes a knowledge update, an action to build, or a topic to add.
Quarterly — audit the fixes landed

Did the automation rate move after you shipped the last round? If not, the fix didn’t address the real bottleneck — re-read the escalations before building more.
