V2 Grader Summary

The agent failed to resolve the MR9000 connectivity issue, providing technically inaccurate guidance (e.g., waiting for non-existent magenta light, incorrect reset duration) and skipping core KB troubleshooting steps. No resolution was achieved, ownership was not demonstrated, and the call lacked empathy and proper communication, resulting in an unresolved outcome.

V1 Case Analysis

Customer (MR9000) reports red/blue LED and no internet. Agent gave incorrect LED guidance (magenta/pink), performed invalid reset/5-press sequence, falsely claimed device out of warranty, skipped WAN troubleshooting, and incorrectly closed by blaming ISP without verification.

Troubleshooting Steps
  • Incorrectly claimed device is out of warranty
  • Instructed 30-second factory reset of MR9000
  • Directed 5-press pairing sequence
  • Asked customer to watch for non-existent 'solid magenta' LED
  • Power-cycled router without modem restart
  • Advised contacting ISP to reset line without verifying WAN connection
Key Observations
  • Agent instructed customer to wait for a 'solid magenta or pink' LED [20:00], which is not a documented LED state for MR9000 per KB
  • Agent incorrectly claimed the device was out of warranty, citing 'Eero' as the ISP when customer said 'VexX' [18:00]
  • Agent gave contradictory reset instructions: first a 30-second hold, then a 5-press sequence [19:00, 21:00], neither appropriate for WAN troubleshooting
  • No verification of WAN port LED, Ethernet cable, or modem power cycle was performed
  • Call was closed by blaming ISP without any attempt to isolate the issue to the customer premises equipment
Positive Highlights
  • Collected customer name and email early in the call [17:00]
  • Identified the correct router model (MR9000) from customer description [16:00]
Agent Errors / Gaps
  • Invented non-existent LED state 'solid magenta or pink' for MR9000 — not in KB documentation
  • Falsely declared device out of warranty without verification and based on misheard ISP name
  • Applied 5-press pairing method to a standalone router (MR9000) not in a mesh setup — invalid procedure
  • Performed factory reset (30-second hold) without first attempting basic WAN troubleshooting
  • Failed to check WAN port LED or Ethernet cable connection — skipped core WAN isolation steps
  • Did not power-cycle modem — critical step missing from troubleshooting flow
  • Closed call by blaming ISP without confirming upstream connectivity or providing self-help resources

V2 Indicator Ratings

Resolution
R1 Not Met Issue actually resolved conf 99%
Agent concluded the call by stating 'we are not able to fix it, but the problem is on the line' and directed the customer to contact the ISP without confirming resolution or achieving any outcome.
R2 Partially Met Diagnostic thoroughness conf 95%
Agent attempted factory reset and 5-press reset but skipped key KB steps such as checking WAN cable, modem status, or performing a proper power cycle; troubleshooting was incomplete.
R3 Partially Met Correct resolution path conf 90%
Agent correctly identified the device as out-of-warranty and offered best-effort support, but the troubleshooting path was flawed due to inaccurate steps and premature ISP referral without verification.
Technical Accuracy
T1 Partially Met Technically accurate info conf 90%
Agent identified the symptom (flashing red/blue LED) and asked about reset behavior, but failed to logically sequence diagnostics — no WAN link check, modem verification, or cable inspection per KB.
T2 Partially Met Appropriate tools / resources used conf 88%
No remote tools or admin UI (e.g., myrouter.local) were used despite opportunity; agent relied solely on verbal guidance when checking router status via web interface would have been appropriate and necessary.
T3 Not Met No misinformation conf 99%
Agent provided multiple technically incorrect instructions: told customer to wait for 'solid magenta or pink' (MR9000 has no such LED state per KB), hold reset for 30 seconds (KB says 10–20s), and failed to verify WAN port status before blaming ISP.
Communication
C1 Not Met Clear & professional language conf 94%
Call had frequent silences, disorganized flow, no clear agenda set, and agent lost control — customer repeated information unprompted and agent failed to maintain direction.
C2 Not Met Confirmed understanding conf 92%
Agent used unclear phrasing like 'press and release one press per second' without confirming understanding or adapting to customer’s confusion about reset steps.
Customer Ownership
O1 Not Met Ownership & empathy conf 95%
Agent created a case but abdicated ownership by blaming ISP without verification; no commitment to follow up or own the issue beyond the call.
O2 Not Met Proactive follow-through conf 96%
No specific next steps or timelines given; only action was to contact ISP, with no callback commitment or plan for re-engagement.
O3 Not Applicable Closure confirmation conf 100%
Confirmed first contact; no prior case history available or referenced.
Escalation Judgment
E1 Not Applicable Correct escalation decision conf 100%
No escalation performed and no clear trigger (e.g., hardware fault, legal risk) warranted escalation over continued troubleshooting.
E2 Not Applicable Escalation prep & handoff conf 100%
No escalation occurred, so execution cannot be assessed.
Customer Experience
X1 Not Met Customer effort minimised conf 94%
Minimal empathy shown; closing statement was dismissive ('we are not able to fix it') rather than supportive or validating.
X2 Not Met Tone & rapport conf 93%
Failed to match customer’s pace; repeated complex instructions without checking comprehension, leading to confusion during reset attempts.
X3 Not Met Overall experience conf 91%
Customer had to repeat model number and issue details; asked to source USB-to-Ethernet adapter without offering alternative diagnostics.
