How it works

This workflow turns “messy evidence” into decision-ready guidance through a short, structured chat. It starts by letting your Knowledge Base answer first (fast, consistent, and searchable), then routes the user into practical decision checks when the question is fuzzy, political, or suspiciously clean.

Instead of pretending every metric deserves trust, it helps teams spot the early signs of dirty signal (the kind that looks fine right up until the meeting) and choose the right next move: validate the number, reframe the comparison, or pull in a human when judgment beats automation.

Key features

  • Knowledge Base-first behavior, with automatic fallback into guided decision prompts when the KB can’t confidently answer.
  • A menu of decision-shaped checks (trustworthy branch numbers, dirty signal detection, attribution/comparison traps, automation vs judgment).
  • Consistent “next step” routing after each answer: return to the menu or request a human handoff.
  • Built-in bias toward verification when the signal is polished, sparse, or overly convenient.
  • Optional human handoff path for situations where nuance matters more than speed.

Step-by-step

  1. Trigger: The workflow starts when a user sends a message (Input).
  2. Knowledge Base attempt: The Knowledge Base Policy tries to answer first; if it can’t, it routes forward.
  3. Decision menu: The user sees Decision check menu with choices like trusting branch numbers, spotting dirty signals, comparing branches, and more.
  4. Routing by selection: The workflow evaluates the selected button and sends the matching advice message:
    1. Which numbers deserve trust vs noise
    2. How to spot dirty signal before the meeting
    3. When to trust automation vs human judgment
    4. How to use messy evidence without “cleaning away the truth”
    5. What teams misread when comparing branches & attribution
    6. How to build a signal culture that ships decisions (not slides)
    7. Talk to a person (handoff)
  5. Next steps prompt: After delivering advice, the user gets What do you want to do next? (Back to menu or Talk to a person).
  6. Loop or handoff:
    • Back to menu returns them to the decision menu.
    • Talk to a person sends a handoff message via Fallback.

Setup requirements

  • Calypso Knowledge Base connected and populated with your internal definitions (metrics, branch reporting rules, attribution policy).
  • No additional credentials are required for this template beyond your Calypso environment configuration.
  • (Optional) If you use human handoff, ensure your support routing/department handling is configured in Calypso so the fallback can be assigned correctly.
