# Know where AI can add value, and where to start.

Two data-led assessments help you understand where AI can play a role in your social customer service operation. See how AI and human agents should work together, what it could mean for resourcing and workflows, and which social media conversations are the strongest candidates for automation.

 Book an assessment

TWO QUESTIONS, TWO ASSESSMENTS

# The business case, then the operational plan

One assessment sizes the opportunity. The other confirms deployment readiness. Both apply regardless of which provider you end up choosing.

![ai-opportunity-resourcing-report](https://dataeq.com/hubfs/ai-opportunity-resourcing-report.svg)

### Understand the opportunity before you reshape your operation.

See where AI could support your social customer service team and what that means for people, capacity and workflows. We map which conversation types are suitable for AI, which should remain human-led, and model the potential impact on resourcing and response performance.

- Human vs AI agent collaboration model
- Resourcing estimates and staffing scenarios
- AI opportunity mapping by conversation type
- Automatable vs human-only interaction classification
- Workflow and operational efficiency analysis
- Modelled impact of AI adoption on response rate

### Know which conversations to automate first.

Once you are ready to deploy an AI agent, we analyse your own social customer service conversations to identify the strongest starting points. Each topic is assessed by volume, complexity and risk, giving you a clear view of what to automate, where to keep a human involved, and what should be escalated.

- Full topic and subtopic schema built from client data
- Complexity scoring: simple / medium / complex resolution paths
- Risk assessment per topic: reputational, legal, escalation likelihood
- Volume ranking to prioritise highest-impact automation
- Automate / hybrid / escalate classification for every topic
- Clear POC topic recommendation with rationale
- Validated against real Engage ticket data where available

THE PROBLEM YOUR TEAM IS FACING:

# Most AI agent deployments are decided on instinct, not data.

Some organisations over-commit, automating queries that needed a human, and spend months undoing the damage to customer trust. Others under-commit, certain an AI agent is too risky for their query mix, and keep paying for headcount on conversations a model could resolve safely. Both outcomes come from the same gap: nobody measured which conversations were actually safe to automate before the decision got made.

HOW IT WORKS:

# A five-phase process, run by DataEQ's analyst and data science team

### 1

Data collation

Your service conversations are collected and filtered for the study period.

### 2

Topic discovery

AI-assisted discovery surfaces the organic themes in what customers are actually asking.

### 3

AI compatibility scoring

Every topic scored on complexity, risk, and volume by the analyst team.

### 4

Operational validation

Findings enriched and checked against real service ticket data.

### 5

Tiered recommendation

An automate / hybrid / escalate output, with a named POC topic.

WHAT WE NEED FROM YOU

# Data requirements

We'll scope exactly what's needed together, working on the data you have available. DataEQ can track social channels directly, or you can provide the export for other channels like WhatsApp, or live chat.

# Get a scored, ranked view of where AI fits in your customer service offering.

Before you choose a provider, know which conversations are ready for automation and which are not. Book an assessment and get the answer from your own data.
