Prediction why-isnt-it-showing deflect and escalate
"My ovulation prediction isn't showing" is the message a cycle app hears most — most are the same fixable reasons, but a handful are "look at MY cycle specifically," and treating those two the same is where it goes wrong.
What it does
The single most common support message in a cycle-prediction app is some version of "why isn't my ovulation prediction showing?" Most of those have the same general answers (not enough logged data, an irregular cycle the model needs more of, a setting toggled off), and they flood the human queue today. But a meaningful slice are profile-specific: "my cycle is this long, I logged these things, check why MINE isn't predicting." Answering that generically is both useless and unsafe, because it needs someone to actually inspect her history. The agent resolves the common version instantly and recognizes the profile-specific one as a hand-off, deflecting the volume while routing the cases that genuinely need a human to look.
How it works
- 1Trigger. a user asks in chat why a prediction (ovulation window, period date) is not showing or looks wrong.
- 2Decision. the agent classifies the ask — is this a general "why can this fail to display" question it can answer from the knowledge base, or a profile-specific request to inspect *this* cycle and *these* logs? Specific dates, lengths, and "check mine" phrasing tip it toward escalation.
- 3Action. general cases get the plain reasons and the self-serve fix (log more, check the setting, what an irregular cycle needs); profile-specific cases route to a human who can open her history, with the conversation and her stated details attached.
- 4Follow-through. the agent confirms back to the user what is happening ("I've passed your details to someone who can look at your cycle directly"), and records which branch fired so the deflect/escalate split stays measurable.
Configuration
How the agent is wired for this use case.
- Messaging channel · receive the question and reply in-thread
- Knowledge base · answer general "why a prediction may not display" cases and the self-serve fixes
- App backend (settings / logging state) · check generic, non-profile factors such as a toggled-off insight or insufficient logged data
- Support queue · route profile-specific requests to a human with the chat and the user's stated cycle details attached
- Memory store · record which branch fired (deflect vs escalate) to keep the split measurable
What you need
The inputs this use case runs on. Your channels stay yours; the agent supplies the judgment.
Signals
prediction-related chat messages, prediction-display state for the user
Data
knowledge base of generic prediction-display reasons and fixes, app settings and logging-completeness state, the user's stated details in-thread, persistent conversation memory
Guardrails
a hard line between generic guidance and profile-specific interpretation — the agent never reasons about an individual's cycle data, it routes it; judge gating on every reply; distress or health red flags in the thread escalate; audit trail on the deflect/escalate decision
Metrics it moves
- ticket-deflectionup, as the repetitive generic version of the question resolves in chat instead of queuing for a human
- safe-escalation-rateup, because profile-specific requests reliably reach someone who can inspect history rather than getting a useless generic answer
- contact-ratedown on the routine version while the cases that need a human still get one
