This capability inherits the Operations Coordinator's pricing model. The role's launch fee + monthly retainer + role-level usage cover every capability under the role. Adding this capability to an active deployment does not change the price.
What this capability handles
Shared Inbox Triage turns the shared inbox from a hidden workflow into a measurable one. Every message gets classified, routed with context, and tracked for follow-up.

When this capability shows up
Patterns where shared inbox triage is part of the launch set, with volume and pricing anchored to each company profile.
Mid-market SaaS with growing cross-functional request load
SaaS · 80-200
6,000 / mo
A 150-person SaaS company with 6,000 monthly internal requests runs them through shared Slack channels, a Gmail inbox, and a Notion SOP library. Requests span access, billing escalations, partner coordination, and ad-hoc engineering asks. Response lag has grown with headcount.
Operations Coordinator activates routing, SOP retrieval, and inbox triage. The Slack and Gmail layers both become measurable workflows. Stuck items surface before they blow SLA. SOP freshness gets continuously monitored.
Expected outcomes: 35-50% faster handling, 90%+ correct-owner rate, 1-2 hours per ops-team-member reclaimed daily, visible cycle-time metrics by category for the first time.

Services firm scaling past 250 with ungoverned ops requests
Services · 250-500
12,000 / mo
A 400-person professional services firm moved past the point where a single ops lead can eyeball every request. Inbound asks land across two shared inboxes and four Slack channels; SOPs exist but nobody trusts them; response lag is now a partner-level complaint.
Operations Coordinator activates all four capabilities. Inbox-triage and internal-request-routing move the queue; sop-retrieval enforces the approved process on every request; document-intake standardises the attachments partners keep chasing.
Expected outcomes: 40-55% faster handling, SOP adoption rising monthly, correct-owner rate 92-96%, visible cycle-time metrics by category for the first time, partner escalations dropping quarter-over-quarter.
Monthly cost
€3.0k–€8.4k
