It answers straightforward questions from your Knowledge Base first, then guides the user through a menu of practical signal checks—so a confident meeting doesn’t confidently drive off a cliff.\n\nIt’s designed for operators who live in branch-level numbers, conversation notes, and attribution reports. The workflow doesn’t pretend data is clean; it helps you spot where it’s lying politely, where it’s merely incomplete, and where automation is safe versus where human judgment is still the best sensor.\n\n## Key features\n- Knowledge Base-first responses for common “how do we define/measure…” questions\n- Menu-based triage across the most failure-prone decision areas (branch numbers, dirty signals, automation vs judgment, comparisons, culture)\n- Clear, decision-shaped prompts that focus on what to trust *now*, not what to model *someday*\n- Optional handoff to a Data & Insights team when the situation needs human review\n- “Another check” loop so users can run multiple reality checks without restarting\n\n## Step-by-step\n1. **Trigger:** A user message starts the workflow.\n2. **Knowledge Base pass:** If the user’s question matches established internal guidance, the workflow answers from the Knowledge Base.\n3. **Pick a decision check:** If not resolved by the Knowledge Base, the workflow shows a menu of signal-check options.\n4. **Run the selected check:** The workflow sends targeted advice based on the user’s choice:\n   1. **Which branch numbers deserve trust (vs polished noise)**\n   2. **How to spot dirty signal before a meeting goes off the rails**\n   3. **When to trust automation vs when to use human judgment**\n   4. **What teams misread when comparing branches, conversations, and attribution**\n   5. **How to build a signal culture that helps decisions happen (not just slides)**\n5. **Next step:** The workflow asks whether the user wants **another check** (returns to the menu) or to **talk to a human** (routes to Data & Insights).\n6. **Fallback routing:** If the user asks to talk to a human—or if their selection doesn’t match expected options—the workflow routes the conversation to **Data & Insights** with a short handoff note.\n\n## Setup requirements\n- A populated **Calypso Knowledge Base** with your definitions and measurement policies (recommended).\n- **Routing enabled** with a department named **Data & Insights** (or update the fallback node to your equivalent team).\n- No external credentials are required beyond standard Calypso access.",{"id":13,"teamId":14,"name":9,"version":15,"workflowVersion":16,"nodes":17,"connections":199,"routingEnabled":8,"active":34},"wf_branch_signal_noise_filter","calypso-public-library","1.0.0",1,[18,35,41,53,81,91,97,102,108,114,122,128,134,140,146,162,169,176,182,192],{"id":19,"name":20,"type":21,"typeVersion":16,"position":22,"parameters":25,"category":33,"deletable":34,"connectable":34},"node_flow_configs","Workflow settings","flow-configs",[23,24],80,60,{"name":9,"description":26,"tags":27,"triggerType":32},"KB-first decision checks for branch numbers, dirty signals, automation judgment calls, and comparison pitfalls.",[28,29,30,31],"signal-design","data-quality","branch-analytics","decision-systems","input","policy",false,{"id":36,"name":37,"type":32,"typeVersion":16,"position":38,"parameters":40,"category":32,"deletable":34,"connectable":8},"node_input","Incoming message",[23,39],180,{},{"id":42,"name":43,"type":44,"typeVersion":16,"position":45,"parameters":47,"category":52,"deletable":8,"connectable":8},"node_kb_policy","Knowledge Base answer","knowledge-base-policy",[46,39],320,{"enabled":8,"fallbackToRouting":8,"sticky":34,"stickyMode":48,"activationOpener":49,"personalization":51},"default",{"enabled":8,"instruction":50},"Answer using the Knowledge Base when the user is asking for definitions, measurement rules, standard operating guidance, or known policies.
