Capability of Support Agent

Escalation Detection & Routing

Detects sensitive or high-risk cases early and routes them to the right owner.

  • Activation complexity

    Medium

  • Time to activate

    10-21 days

  • Volume share

    5-15% of role volume

  • Impact range

    90-97% correct-route rate

Inherited pricing

€0.30 – €0.90 per ticket handled

This capability shares the Support Agent's metered unit. A ticket handled is counted once at the role level regardless of which capability handled it. Adding this capability to an active deployment does not change the per-action price.

What this capability handles

How it works in detail.

Escalation Detection & Routing is the safety layer of the Support Agent. It watches for escalation signals — severity language, VIP status, repeat-issue patterns, policy-sensitive categories — scores the case, attaches the context a human would need, and routes to the right owner.

Workflow summary

Watches for escalation signals, classifies severity, attaches context, routes to the correct owner.
