Humans and agents
Who does what, and where the handover happens
This operating system is built around handovers. An agent works until it reaches the limit it was given, then it asks a named person. Every refusal changes the limit in the open rather than being argued about later.
Split of operating decisions
Hours by month
Agent hours rise, human hours fall and move up the value chain.
Approvals, refusals and overrides
Refusals are healthy. Overrides are the ones to watch.
Live handover desk
Each row is a real handover between an agent and a person, in either direction.
