What they did and found
The problem is misrouted IT tickets that waste time and money. The approach tested a simple readiness guardrail with a basic rule system and a prompt tool. Finding: costs vary with how rules are set and what costs you assign.
Why it matters
Costs differ by local setup and prompts; results will vary. Do a simple readiness test before going live to see if auto-routing saves money.
This note explains how a guardrail works as a readiness check for auto-routing IT tickets. It compares a simple rule set with a prompt tool and notes cost effects.
A practical step: begin with a basic confidence rule on a sample of tickets, track auto-routed vs. human-handled cases, and tweak costs to see changes.
What remains uncertain
Results depend on the data used and the cost assumptions; different data or costs in practice may change the outcome.
