Which role boundaries make this workflow valuable for agent evaluation?

Use this checklist to identify authority boundaries worth representing in a generated evaluation of frontline referral behaviour.

- Separate recognition of difficulty from eligibility assessment. - Define who may request supporting financial evidence. - Specify who can approve a payment arrangement. - Identify which account changes require specialist authority. - Distinguish process explanations from personalised advice. - State how uncertain authority should be escalated.

These boundaries create meaningful choices even when the customer's need is obvious. An agent may correctly recognise difficulty yet overstep by approving relief. Another may avoid overstepping but offer no permitted next action. Both outcomes deserve scrutiny, because restraint alone is not completion.

The supplied policy should make at least one useful action available to the frontline role, such as offering a referral or recording the customer's preferred contact method. Otherwise, the task risks measuring refusal rather than competent service.

For evaluation teams, the value lies in testing helpfulness within authority. Review the action trace alongside the final response: a sympathetic explanation should not compensate for an unauthorised account modification, and a valid referral should not excuse a promise the specialist has not made.
