Quality Checklist
- All core metrics are compared to targets and prior period
- Volume is broken down by channel, category, and time
- Bottlenecks have specific data backing them
- Recommendations are prioritized by impact
- Report distinguishes between one-time spikes and ongoing trends
Edge Cases
- New support channel launched: Separate new channel metrics; expect ramp-up noise
- Product launch spike: Contextualize volume surge; don't count it as a team performance issue
- Seasonal patterns: Compare same period YoY for accurate trending
- Outsourced team: Include vendor metrics but note different SLA terms
