Research Request Backlog Triage Agent

A prioritized research plan where each request is accepted, answered from existing work or declined with a reason.

Research Request Backlog Triage Agent: what goes in, what the agent does and what you get

What it does

Eleven teams want research this quarter and the loudest ones win. This agent triages the queue. It scores each request on the decision at stake, risk if wrong, existing evidence and effort. Before proposing to run anything new, it searches your research repository and past reports for answers that already exist, and marks those requests as reuse. It proposes accept, reuse or decline for each, with a short reason. When requests change or new ones arrive, it rechecks the scores and the plan. The research lead approves the plan. Edge case: two teams asking about the same flow are merged into one study and the agent names both stakeholders.

How it works

Follow the arrows from top to bottom. The orange dashed arrow is the loop: when a check fails, the agent goes back and tries again.

How it decides

It ranks by decision value and risk, then subtracts anything answered by existing evidence, and fits the rest into capacity.

  • Reuse when evidence is under 12 months old and covers the question
  • Merge requests about the same flow or audience
  • Score decision value above effort
  • Decline requests with no decision attached

Make it yours

Every agent is a starting point. You choose these settings for your own situation.

  • Scoring weights
  • Evidence age limit (default 12 months)
  • Quarterly capacity
  • Requester groups

What keeps you in control

It always asks you first

  • Research lead approves the plan
  • Research lead approves replies to requesters

Hard limits

  • Never reject requests to stakeholders itself
  • Never use old research without checking its date

It stops when

  • Done: queue approved and communicated
  • Stop: capacity or priorities unknown

An example run

What happensEleven requests came in. The agent found that 3 were answered by a study from April. Two requests about onboarding were merged. It scored the rest and the plan fit 4 studies in 8 weeks. The check showed 6 were too many, so it moved the lowest 2 to later. The lead approved the plan and replies.
