PROJECT 11 / ILLUSTRATIVE SCENARIOFICTIONAL WORKED EXAMPLE

STOP SOLVING THE SAME TICKET AGAIN.

ILLUSTRATIVE SCENARIO · FICTIONAL FIGURES

This is a hypothetical example of my approach. It is not a delivered client project, a Commercial Networks result or a promised outcome.

A fictional repeat-ticket example connects service-desk evidence to detection, remediation and review.

90 → 30Eligible tickets / month
12 minutesAssumed handling / ticket
12 hoursIllustrative monthly handling avoided

(90 − 30) × 12 assumed minutes ÷ 60 = 12 hours per month, before maintenance overhead. All figures are fictional.

01 / CONTEXT

THE PROBLEM.

Imagine 90 eligible tickets per month for a recurring endpoint condition, each taking an assumed 12 minutes of technician handling. First establish whether they share a cause, rather than just a title.

02 / APPROACH

HOW I WOULD APPROACH IT.

This is a hypothetical application of my method. I would sample tickets with engineers, define eligible cases and confirm a bounded remediation before proposing automation.

03 / ENGINEERING

THE PROPOSED WORKFLOW.

  1. Confirm a repeatable condition

    Read resolution notes and identify device state. Separate cases needing human judgement and measure actual handling time.

  2. Build a bounded workflow

    Detect the condition, check prerequisites, run a limited action and verify the result. Escalate failures with useful logs.

  3. Measure remaining work

    Compare eligible tickets, repeat failures and manual handling after the pilot. Maintain the workflow as exceptions change.

04 / CONTROL

MAKE IT TRUSTWORTHY.

Test a successful fix, failed prerequisites, an already healthy device and an unsuccessful action. Pilot within a small group and retain the previous configuration.

Controls that matter

  • Defined eligibility
  • Bounded changes
  • Human escalation
  • Post-action verification
  • Maintenance ownership
05 / THE VALUE

WHY IT MATTERS.

If eligible tickets fall from 90 to 30 a month, at an assumed 12 minutes each, the fictional difference is 12 hours per month. Maintenance and investigation overhead must also be measured in a real business case.

THE TAKEAWAY

AUTOMATE A VERIFIED FIX. NOT AN ASSUMPTION.
