Without this playbook

Most teams handle chatbot qualification & routing through scattered call reviews, manager opinion, and isolated examples. Without a shared operational definition, the signals stay inconsistent and difficult to act on across volume.

With this playbook

A shared, repeatable lens for chatbot qualification & routing - with structured outputs you can route into coaching, reporting, and workflow automation. Every conversation produces evidence, not just opinions.

Built for

AI product managers, ML engineers, and trust & safety teams

When teams use it

  • Model evaluation and release gates
  • Governance review and policy enforcement
  • Safety and accuracy monitoring

The operational stack

1 kit behind this playbook

A chatbot that qualifies leads incorrectly or routes them to the wrong team wastes pipeline and frustrates prospects. This stack evaluates the three stages of inbound chat handling: intent detection to determine whether the bot correctly understood what the visitor wanted, qualification accuracy to check whether it extracted the right signals, and routing decisions to verify the lead ended up with the right team. Each stage is a separate failure point with a separate fix.

Structured output

What you get back

Every conversation processed through this stack produces a structured JSON object. Each brick contributes a typed field - booleans, scores, categories, or string lists - that you can route, aggregate, and report on.

Example output shape

{
  "chat_intent_type": "Strong",
  "intent_confidence_score": 7,
  "chat_entities_detected": [
    "signal 1",
    "signal 2"
  ]
}
