How this dashboard works
The Sable Customer Service Excellence Dashboard is an AI-scored quality and SLA monitor for every customer-facing mailbox across Citizenship & Immigration, Forex & Tax, Education, and Offshore Property. It reads the full case timeline, not isolated emails, and turns service quality into something you can measure, rank, and coach against day by day.
How it works
Pulls emails and internal chat from group mailboxes - Immigration Casework, Forex & Tax, UICS, Wealth, Study Abroad, and more.
Every timeline item is tagged: client inbound, chase, internal question, acknowledgement, complete answer, risk warning, or AI summary.
Each reply is scored across 9 dimensions and rolled up to case, person, and User Group level. Confidence is attached to every judgement.
The composite score, explained
The composite is a single 0 to 100 number per reply, per person, and per User Group. It is intentionally weighted so that fast acknowledgements alone cannot mask weak case outcomes. Accuracy and progress are weighted together at 35% because in regulated work, a wrong answer or a stalled case carries more risk than a slow reply.
Why each metric matters
A fast first reply protects client trust, but speed alone is not a resolution. The dashboard separates acknowledgements from substantive answers so that 'looking into this now' does not get credit it has not earned.
Every inbound that requires a response is timed against a 30-minute target. SLA % feeds directly into chase rate: when SLA drops below 85%, client chases typically double within 48 hours.
The single highest-stakes metric for immigration and tax work. An inaccurate answer on a sponsor compliance visit, RTW evidence question, or HMRC split-year query can expose the client to enforcement action or financial loss.
Catches cases that get a polite first reply and then stall. A case where the owner replied within 10 minutes but never circled back is worse than one with a slower but conclusive resolution.
Specifically identifies the 'thanks, will revert shortly' pattern. These replies inflate speed scores while leaving the client's actual question unanswered. Flagged for coaching, not penalised on first occurrence.
Secondary risks surfaced mid-case, such as a CoS expiring within 14 days during a sponsor audit. These are tracked separately from the primary question so they do not get lost in the reply thread.
Rolls every member's answer quality, SLA, and open coaching flags up to the User Group level. The result is a single daily ranking of which teams need a coaching touch today.
Walk through each metric with a real case
Every example below is a real moment from the Acme Tech sponsor compliance case timeline. Pick a metric to see the exact replies the AI scored and what it concluded.
First response time
At 11:47 a Home Office sponsor compliance visit notice landed with a 48-hour deadline. The owner's first reply went out at 12:04 - 17 minutes later. Inside the 30-minute SLA, so Speed scored 95.
How AI scoring is applied
Whole-case context. Every reply is scored against the full timeline of the case, not in isolation. A short reply that perfectly closes a long internal investigation can outscore a long reply that only restates the question.
Confidence on every judgement. Each AI score carries a confidence value. Low-confidence calls are surfaced for human review before they affect a team member's running average.
Coaching, not punishment. Weak examples are always paired with a suggested stronger pattern. The goal is to make the better reply obvious, not to flag the worse one.
