## Week-over-Week Movement
- Improve accuracy in technical guidance (e.g., correct URLs, reset durations, pairing methods).
- Enforce protocol for collecting model/serial numbers in every call.
- Reduce premature escalation to paid support without attempting basic troubleshooting.
- Enhance communication clarity and empathy, especially during high-stress calls.

## What Went Well

> **Accurate warranty status communication**  
> - "Accurately communicated warranty expiration date and status (e.g., 'the warranty status had expired around September 4 of [REDACTED_YEAR]' in call_id 045ca6ec-5b95-11f1-84c8-42010a623f91)."  
> [#LTS00131473](https://linksys.happyfox.com/staff/ticket/131473/)

> **Correct use of KB-aligned troubleshooting steps**  
> - "Guided customer through correct factory reset and 5-press pairing for MX6200 (e.g., 'hold reset button until LED turns off' in call_id 600b52f8-5b73-11f1-95f6-42010a623f91)."  
> [#LTS00094375](https://linksys.happyfox.com/staff/ticket/94375/)

> **Correctly identified and avoided providing incorrect guidance for non-Linksys product**  
> - "Correctly identified the product as non-Linksys and avoided providing incorrect technical guidance."  
> [#LTS00057293](https://linksys.happyfox.com/staff/ticket/57293/)

---

### Growth Opportunities

> **Incorrect technical guidance and protocol violations**  
> - "Provided materially incorrect technical advice (e.g., 'new hard drive' in call_id 045ca6ec-5b95-11f1-84c8-42010a623f91, 'martmartwifif.com' in call_id 911372bc-59f8-11f1-8160-42010a62006f)."  
> [#LTS00131473](https://linksys.happyfox.com/staff/ticket/131473/)  
> **What better looks like**: Provide accurate technical guidance aligned with KB, avoid hallucinations, and ensure URLs are correct.

> **Failure to collect essential product details**  
> - "Failed to collect model/serial number in multiple calls (e.g., 'Did not collect model or serial number' in call_id ca6a44c4-5b91-11f1-b5c9-42010a62006f, 'Failed to capture product model' in call_id 55a27cf8-5b71-11f1-b15f-42010a62006f)."  
> [#LTS00131468](https://linksys.happyfox.com/staff/ticket/131468/)  
> **What better looks like**: Always collect and verify model/serial numbers at the start of the call to ensure accurate troubleshooting.

---

### Next Week's Focus

- **Collect model/serial numbers in every call** to ensure accurate troubleshooting and avoid misdiagnosis.
- **Verify URLs and technical steps against KB** before providing guidance to prevent inaccuracies.
- **Improve empathy and communication clarity**, especially during high-stress calls, to build trust and reduce frustration.
- **Focus on CONNECTIVITY and SETUP categories** to reduce handle times and improve resolution rates.

---

### Technical Accuracy

**Improvement**  
5-press calibration: WHW03 and MX5500 can support 5-press pairing/recovery in supported child-node contexts. Do not coach this as unsupported solely because the product is Velop, WHW, MX, or MR; treat it as an error only when the evidence shows the method was wrong for the model/state, described as a factory reset by itself, failed without a pivot, or contradicted KB guidance.
> [#LTS00101153](https://linksys.happyfox.com/staff/ticket/101153/)

**Improvement**  
> Provided incorrect support URL ('support.com' instead of 'support.linksys.com') in call_id 0af952a6-5835-11f1-81fd-42010a62006f, constituting a serious accuracy and safety risk.  
> [#LTS00130705](https://linksys.happyfox.com/staff/ticket/130705/)

**Improvement**  
> Incorrect factory reset duration (20 seconds) advised for WHW03 Velop system in call_id ca6a44c4-5b91-11f1-b5c9-42010a62006f. KB specifies 10 seconds for Velop models.  
> [#LTS00131468](https://linksys.happyfox.com/staff/ticket/131468/)

**Strength**  
> Correctly identified and avoided providing incorrect guidance for non-Linksys product (TP-Link Deco) in call_id a06d7df6-5850-11f1-a6c7-42010a623f91.  
> [#LTS00057293](https://linksys.happyfox.com/staff/ticket/57293/)

### Coaching Moments

**Improvement**  
> "Did not collect model or serial number, violating protocol for product-specific troubleshooting."  
> **Note**: Collecting model/serial numbers is critical for accurate troubleshooting and warranty validation.  
> [#LTS00131468](https://linksys.happyfox.com/staff/ticket/131468/)

**Improvement**  
> "Incorrectly stated that remote access is no longer supported ([08:00]), contradicting the KB and directly harming the customer's use case."  
> **Note**: Remote access is still supported; ensure accurate information is provided.  
> [#LTS00131392](https://linksys.happyfox.com/staff/ticket/131392/)

**Improvement**  
> "Provided incorrect default admin password ('admin') for WHW01, contradicting KB which states unique password on label."  
> **Note**: Always refer to KB for default credentials and avoid assumptions.  
> [#LTS00131214](https://linksys.happyfox.com/staff/ticket/131214/)

**Improvement**  
> "Misrepresented MX2000 as a mesh system with 'child nodes' (KB clearly states MX2000 is a single-unit router, not a mesh system)."  
> **Note**: Ensure product knowledge is accurate to avoid misdiagnosis and confusion.  
> [#LTS00131305](https://linksys.happyfox.com/staff/ticket/131305/)

**Improvement**  
> "Provided factually incorrect information: claimed MAC address could not be removed because it belonged to the router ([06:00], [07:00]). This contradicts KB guidance on MAC filtering and device blocking in the Velop admin UI."  
> **Note**: MAC filtering and device blocking are valid methods for removing unauthorized devices.  
> [#LTS00110405](https://linksys.happyfox.com/staff/ticket/110405/)

### Escalation Lessons: What L2 Did

### [#TE00122939](https://linksys.happyfox.com/staff/ticket/122939/) — Resolved by Level 2

- **What L1 saw**: Customer to verify modem internet connectivity (swap cable, test with another device) and contact ISP; case number provided for follow-up.
- **Why it escalated**: Escalation trigger was not explicit in the available notes.
- **Related call chain**: This was a repeat contact; an earlier agent closed the call with an ISP referral, vague next step, or unresolved status, requiring L2 to continue the case.
- **What L2 did**: Verified issue, confirmed Cnode proximity, reset nodes, and guided customer through admin access and SSID verification.
- **Current state**: Resolved.
- **L1 learning points**: 
  - Always verify modem connectivity before escalating.
  - Document exact troubleshooting steps and outcomes.
  - Ensure clear next steps are provided to the customer.

### [#TE00092429](https://linksys.happyfox.com/staff/ticket/92429/) — Resolved by Level 2

- **What L1 saw**: Escalated to Level 2; customer to send error screenshot via email; await callback within 24-48 hours.
- **Why it escalated**: Customer was unable to verify account due to a non-functional verification link.
- **Related call chain**: This was a repeat contact; an earlier agent closed the call after vague suggestions, requiring L2 to continue the case.
- **What L2 did**: Claimed the ticket, requested screenshot, and guided customer through account verification and callback.
- **Current state**: Resolved.
- **L1 learning points**: 
  - Attempt direct account verification or use internal tools when possible.
  - Set clear expectations and provide a valid escalation path.
  - Document all troubleshooting steps and customer actions.

### Coach Appendix

- **Highest-signal weekly trend**: **CONNECTIVITY** and **SETUP** categories show the longest handle times and lowest scores. Focus on improving efficiency and accuracy in these areas.
- **Recurring technical pattern**: Incorrect technical guidance (e.g., URLs, reset durations, pairing methods) and failure to collect essential product details. Ensure all guidance is KB-aligned and model/serial numbers are collected in every call.
- **Evidence**: 
  - Incorrect support URL provided in call_id 0af952a6-5835-11f1-81fd-42010a62006f.
  - Incorrect factory reset duration advised in call_id ca6a44c4-5b91-11f1-b5c9-42010a62006f.
  - Failure to collect model/serial numbers in call_id ca6a44c4-5b91-11f1-b5c9-42010a62006f.
