Escalation to a competent person

Ambiguous or high-risk cases remain with automation when human judgement is needed.

Requirement

Define observable triggers, destination, context package and response ownership for escalation.

Expected evidence

  • Escalation matrix and service ownership.
  • Sample escalations with context and resolution.

Proposed verification

  1. Trigger uncertainty, policy conflict and user request for a person.
  2. Check the recipient receives enough context without unnecessary data.

Limit

The control does not guarantee staffing levels or the quality of the human decision.
