Understanding AI Failure Triage
How OpsScaleIQ automatically turns customer reviews into structured ops tasks — scored, categorized, and escalated.

Step 1 — Review Ingestion
When a new review is pulled from any connected platform (Google Business Profile, Yelp, TripAdvisor, or imported via CSV/QR), it enters the triage queue automatically.
Reviews are stored with their raw text, rating, reviewer name, source, and timestamp. No manual action is required from your team.
Step 2 — AI Classification (GPT-4o)
Each review text is sent to the AI engine, which performs:
Failure detection: Does this review indicate an operational failure? (e.g. "fries were cold", "waited 45 minutes", "staff was rude after I complained")
Category assignment: What type of failure? (Food Quality, Service Speed, Staff Conduct, Cleanliness, Order Accuracy, Technology/App, etc.)
Key phrase extraction: The most operationally relevant phrases (e.g. "cold fries", "45 minute wait")
Confidence score: 0–1 score representing how confident the AI is in the classification
Reviews that don't indicate an operational failure are marked as UNCATEGORIZED and not acted upon.
Step 3 — Severity Scoring
The AI assigns a severity level to each detected failure:
Standard (1): Minor inconveniences, isolated incidents, or positive-overall reviews with one complaint
Elevated (2): Repeated patterns, meaningful impact on customer experience, staff conduct issues
Critical (3): Safety concerns, severe service failures, legal risk language, health code implications, or very high-impact incidents
Critical alerts (severity 3) immediately trigger an email notification to your registered alert address.
Step 4 — Task creation
For every alert categorized as a failure with confidence > 0.6, OpsScaleIQ automatically creates a Task assigned to the location where the review occurred.
Each task contains:
The original review content
AI-identified category and subcategory
Severity level
Key phrases highlighting the failure
Optional auto-generated SOP runbook (available on Essential+ plans)
Before/after photo proof workflow
Step 5 — Escalation
The escalation engine runs regularly as a background check. A task is automatically escalated to ESCALATED status when:
It has been in OPEN or IN_PROGRESS status for longer than the location's escalation threshold (default: 48 hours)
A Critical (severity 3) task has not been acknowledged within 4 hours
Escalated tasks:
Rise to the top of the Tasks and Checklist views
Are highlighted with an orange/red indicator
Appear in the weekly manager digest as unresolved items
What AI Triage does NOT do
It does not automatically reply to reviews — you control when to post replies (Essential+ via "Post to Google")
It does not delete or suppress reviews
It does not contact reviewers directly
Triage status is always transparent — every classification is visible in the Reviews dashboard
All AI decisions are visible and editable. You can always override a task's severity or category from the task detail panel.
