Which complaints should be assigned a single joint claims/service handler immediately?
Information
Whether a complaint touches both claims and customer service, based on its category and any linked claim reference.
Intelligence
A shared view of the complaint plus any linked claim notes, instead of two separate, disconnected case files.
Decision
Whether to assign one joint handler across both teams, or keep it within customer service alone.
Action
Assign a single joint handler with visibility into both teams' notes for complaints that touch both.
Business Outcome
Fewer repeated explanations at complaint handoff · Cost Reduction
Complaints requiring the customer to re-explain their issue at handoff · baseline 60% · target 10% · actual 8% · confidence: High
Hypothesis: A single joint handler with shared visibility removes the need to re-explain at handoff for nearly all cases.

Organisational Adaptation
Recommended intervention
Process change — The information already exists in both systems -- what's missing is a shared view and a single owner, not a new AI capability.
Capacity
Set both decision frequency (edit this decision) and review capacity above to see a capacity pressure estimate.
Adaptation outcome
A reported response, not a verified change record — what did the organisation decide after living with this?
Retained — The joint-handler process was piloted for one quarter and then kept -- customers stopped needing to re-explain their complaint at handoff.
Value estimation
Made 60×/year at an estimated cost of 150 per poor instance — every 1 percentage point of improvement is worth roughly 90/year. Scale by your own realistic improvement estimate rather than trusting a single invented number.
