This capability inherits the Senior Support Specialist'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
Sensitive Case Handling is where senior judgement typically lives. The agent detects de-escalation signals, drafts a policy-consistent response with tone calibration, and routes remaining judgement cases to humans with full history.

When this capability shows up
Patterns where sensitive case handling is part of the launch set, with volume and pricing anchored to each company profile.
Subscription business with policy-heavy cancellation queue
Subscriptions · 200-500
700 / mo
A 350-person subscription business runs 700 tier-2 cases a month. Cancellation saves, plan disputes, and refund policy dominate. Policy interpretation varies by rep. Senior owner reviews are a bottleneck.
Senior Support Specialist activates SLA protection, sensitive-case handling, and policy interpretation. Every decision carries annotated rationale; policy application becomes consistent; the senior owner reviews by exception rather than by default.
Expected outcomes: SLA breach rate trending down, CSAT on sensitive cases rising, policy-application consistency within target, escalation-quality score rated stable-or-better by senior review.
Monthly cost
€840–€2.5k

Healthtech platform with sensitive tier-2 cases
Healthtech · 120-300
450 / mo
A 220-person healthtech platform runs 450 tier-2 cases per month. Clinical-adjacent complaints, consent-withdrawal requests, and data-access escalations dominate. SLAs are tight, policy is dense, and one senior rep carries most of the load.
Senior Support Specialist activates sla-protection, sensitive-case-handling, and policy-interpretation. Every tier-2 case is SLA-monitored; sensitive categories are handled with annotated tone and policy rationale; the senior rep reviews by exception rather than by default.
Expected outcomes at this volume: SLA breach rate down 25-40% in 60 days, policy-application consistency 90-96%, senior-rep hours reclaimed per week, audit-ready rationale on every decision.
