Marketplace Ops Toolkit

Escalation Decision Calculator

Most "auto-escalate" AI tools skip the taxonomy. They surface alerts but cannot say which deserves a human, which should wait, and which would self-resolve if you ignored it for four more hours. This tool maps exception type, alert age, SLA budget, customer impact, volume, and dollar exposure into a single recommendation: auto-resolve, wait, review, or page.

Presets

Pick a starting profile, then adjust the inputs. Each preset captures a common alert shape with realistic self-resolve baselines.

Why this exists

A typical fraud or ops queue surfaces 200 to 500 alerts per analyst per day. About 70 to 80% of "stuck movement" or "non-response" alerts self-resolve within 4 to 6 hours without any intervention.

If your team escalates every alert to a human within the first hour, you burn analyst capacity on alerts that would have cleared themselves. If you wait too long on the wrong alert, you pay in customer impact, SLA penalties, or fraud loss.

The decision is not "escalate or not." It is "what is the cost of escalating now vs the cost of waiting, given how this alert type usually decays." This tool makes that cost comparison explicit.
