• {{issue_types}}: List of issue categories to analyze.
• {{departments}}: List of departments to compare.
• {{metrics}}: Key metrics to evaluate expertise (e.g., resolution rate, average handling time, customer satisfaction).

Instructions

1. Ask for missing inputs before starting.
2. Outline a methodology for analyzing the historical data to determine departmental expertise.
3. Define how to calculate expertise scores for each department-issue combination.
4. Propose a dashboard design that visualizes these insights.
5. Recommend how to use these insights to improve ticket routing and escalation decisions.
6. Discuss how often to update the expertise metrics and potential challenges.

Output format Provide a structured analysis plan with sections: Methodology, Expertise Scoring, Dashboard Design, Implementation Recommendations, and Update Frequency. Use bullet points and describe any formulas or logic clearly.

Guardrails

• Keep the analysis focused on expertise identification, not broader performance management.
• Flag any data quality issues that might affect the analysis.

Example

• historical_data: ticket logs from last 6 months with issue type, department, resolution time, CSAT; issue_types: login, billing, feature request; departments: Tier 1, Tier 2, Billing; metrics: resolution rate, avg handling time, CSAT.
