Metrics question

For an agent that collects and routes fraud, waste, and abuse reports, what success metrics would you define for both the institution and the end user? If report volume and completion rates are high but downstream resolution quality is poor, how would you diagnose the problem and prioritize fixes?

What this question tests

Tests defining two-sided success metrics for a reporting agent and diagnosing a completion-quality gap in downstream resolution.

How to approach it

  1. For the institution, define metrics on report quality and actionability: percent of reports with sufficient detail for investigation, and percent leading to a resolved case.
  2. For the end user, define metrics on experience: completion rate, time to submit, and perceived clarity of what happens after submission.
  3. If volume and completion are high but resolution quality is poor, first check whether reports are structurally complete, since a completed form can still be low-signal.
  4. Check whether the agent is asking the right clarifying questions for triage, like specifics needed for investigators, versus just collecting whatever the user offers.
  5. Check the handoff itself: are completed reports actually reaching the right downstream team with the right priority tagging, or getting lost in an unrouted queue.
  6. Prioritize fixing intake question design first if structural completeness is the gap, since that is the cheapest, highest-leverage fix before touching routing infrastructure.
