Description

Complaint Severity Classification uses AI to grade and route complaints by severity, enabling consistent prioritisation, by classifying complaint text, history, and policy criteria, across complaint management and quality review.

Business Problem

Complaints arrive through many channels and vary wildly in seriousness, but manual triage applies inconsistent judgement under volume pressure. Severe complaints sit in the wrong queue while minor ones consume senior attention, and regulated escalations get missed.

Solution

The AI performs classification on complaint text, history, product data, and policy criteria, assigning each complaint a severity category and escalation route so urgent cases reach the right team immediately.

Expected Value

Raises the complaint escalation accuracy rate and reduces the share of high-severity complaints that breach response deadlines.

Prerequisites
  • Historical complaint text, history, product data, and policy criteria are available with stable identifiers and sufficient coverage for the target workflow.
  • Source systems for complaint management and quality review workflows expose the required records through a repeatable export or service interface.
  • A named business owner exists to review severity category and escalation route and confirm the action workflow.
