Intake Restart
A customer provides their details, then has to provide them again as the work moves forward. Staff collect the same facts in different formats and rebuild the intake record.
What it looks like.
A customer submits a form and receives a call asking for information already included in an attachment. Another employee then retypes the answers for the team that will do the work.
What it costs the team.
Repeated collection uses staff attention and makes the customer unsure whether anyone read the first submission. Every restart introduces another opportunity for inconsistent or missing details.
A submitted form becomes another intake call
Here is one way the work could move, with a person handling the decisions that need judgment.
Read the submitted answers and documents the team is permitted to use.
Check completeness against the agreed intake requirements.
Prepare focused follow-up questions for missing or unclear details.
Structure the confirmed information into a record for human acceptance.
What a person still owns.
- Handle sensitive conversations and identity or consent checks.
- Resolve conflicting information with the appropriate person.
- Accept the final intake record before downstream work begins.
A useful first step.
Compare one submitted intake with the next team’s requirements. Mark facts already collected, facts genuinely missing, and questions being asked again.
