Elkwai Solutions workflow starter · 2026-10-10

Planning example, not a client result or quote. Nothing is sent or purchased. Do not include passwords or confidential records.

## The problem

- A request bounces between teams because the category is unclear, the site details are incomplete or the proposed action has no accountable owner.

## Simpler alternatives

- Forms and explicit routing rules are often enough. Add classification for varied language only when it improves a labeled comparison; retain an abstain and manual route.

## Inputs

- Representative requests with reviewed categories
- Owners and required information for each route
- Costly error cases and consequential-action boundaries

## Delivery sequence

- Label representative requests before evaluating any classifier.
- Measure each class, including rare wrong-owner transfers and abstentions.
- Organize a service intake with missing fields and an owner visible.
- Commission the connected action separately, retaining approval, retries and outcome receipts.

## Acceptance

- Unknown and incomplete requests can remain unresolved for review.
- Classification is distinct from authorization to act.
- Every consequential action has the agreed approval and result record.

## Measure

- Per-class precision and recall
- Wrong-owner transfers and abstentions
- Resolution time and completed handoffs

## Full cost consideration

- Include exception review, helpdesk connection, provider usage and operational ownership. The beta organizes supplied work; it is not an already-connected inbox or dispatch service.

## Tools available now

- Evaluate routing labels: https://elkwai.com/ai-classification-evaluator.html
- Organize a service request: https://elkwai.com/workspace.html?workflow=service_intake#new-run
- Inspect recorded actions: https://elkwai.com/agent-workflow-checker.html

Tools do not automatically transfer data or execute a production integration.

## Separate buying paths

- AI workflow pilot: Quoted after scoping. https://elkwai.com/ai-workflow-pilot
  Connected intake and private knowledge are commissioned work, not connectors already included in the free beta.
- Custom applications and automation: Written project quote. https://elkwai.com/working-together?need=software&mode=project#offer-finder
  Ownership, integration, hosting and support are separately stated in the scope.
