Critical-fail criteria — email
A critical fail scores zero overall, regardless of how strong the rest of the call was.
On email interactions, the most common critical fails are:
- Failing to authenticate the customer
- Quoting fees you can't substantiate
- Disclosing account details to an unverified caller
If a criterion is marked critical, QUALICORE will require a comment of at least 80 characters explaining the rationale before the evaluation can be submitted. This protects the agent in any subsequent dispute.
