V2 Grader Summary

The agent failed to perform meaningful troubleshooting or provide best-effort support despite the device being out of warranty, violating the OOW standard. While technically accurate and maintaining ownership, the lack of diagnostic progression, empathy, and effort reduction resulted in no resolution and a poor customer experience. The outcome is classified as Unresolved due to failure on both R1 and R2.

V2 Indicator Ratings

Resolution
R1 Not Met Issue actually resolved conf 98%
Agent did not resolve the issue or achieve any outcome—no troubleshooting performed, no RMA, no escalation. Only offered a paid service or self-help email.
R2 Not Met Diagnostic thoroughness conf 95%
Agent asked only two basic questions (LED status, power outage) without logical sequence or diagnostic progression. No power cycle, reset, or firmware check attempted.
R3 Not Met Correct resolution path conf 96%
Agent dismissed customer with 'out of warranty, must pay' instead of providing best-effort troubleshooting (e.g., factory reset, power cycle, firmware update) as required by OOW standard.
Technical Accuracy
T1 Partially Met Technically accurate info conf 90%
Agent identified the symptom (orange blinking LED) and asked about recent outages, but failed to pursue root cause with structured diagnostics.
T2 Met Appropriate tools / resources used conf 88%
No tools were required for basic L1 troubleshooting, and agent proceeded appropriately without remote access or logs given the interaction mode.
T3 Met No misinformation conf 95%
Information provided (OOW status, $15 fee, free email guide) was factually accurate per Linksys policy and product data.
Communication
C1 Partially Met Clear & professional language conf 87%
Agent set expectation about paid support but lost control during silences and customer confusion; call flow was disjointed and reactive.
C2 Partially Met Confirmed understanding conf 85%
Used simple terms but did not adapt to customer’s repeated uncertainty or check understanding after key statements like the fee or email guide.
Customer Ownership
O1 Met Ownership & empathy conf 97%
Agent owned the call end-to-end, did not transfer, and committed to sending the email guide personally.
O2 Met Proactive follow-through conf 96%
Clearly stated next step: 'I'll be sending the email to the guidelines to your email seleste.'
O3 Not Applicable Closure confirmation conf 100%
No prior case history; confirmed first contact with no previous tickets.
Escalation Judgment
E1 Not Applicable Correct escalation decision conf 100%
No escalation occurred and none was warranted—this was a standard L1 issue that should have been resolved or best-effort troubleshooted.
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%
Agent failed to acknowledge customer frustration, repeated concerns about cost and uncertainty, or express empathy. Tone remained transactional.
X2 Not Met Tone & rapport conf 92%
Did not adjust pace or tone despite customer’s hesitation and confusion; no comprehension checks after explaining paid support or email guide.
X3 Not Met Overall experience conf 95%
Increased customer effort by requiring self-service via email instead of guiding through basic steps like reboot or reset, which could have been done live.

06:00
Speaker 1
and usually they come with a warranty status and this router of yours happens to be uh out already out of warranty therefore um to provide you technical support uh you will have to apply for paid connect service uh you will have to pay for me to walk you through the steps on how to uh reset or reconfigure your router or troubleshoot because your product is out uh it will cost you 15 US dollar one five
07:00
Speaker 2
Well, I just did this not too long ago and I didn't have to pay anything. How much do I have to pay you? 50 or 15?
07:00
Speaker 1
1, 5, 15. And yes, uh, I have to set an expectation that there is no guarantee that we'll be able to resolve the issue with regards to your router because, uh, we don't know yet what's the real cause why your router disconnected. It could be an internet connection or it could be an under part of your internet provider or it could be the router itself. So we don't know yet because we haven't started troubleshooting your router. Now your router is since, uh, your router was working, uh, previously.
08:00
Speaker 2
Do we do it? Well, baby, if we don't pay it, she can't fix it. So it sounds like we just need a new router. Maybe through somebody else.
08:00
Speaker 1
my guess is that it got disconnected, maybe. There's an internet interruption from our internet provider that your router got disconnected, and it will need some reconfiguration. It's like setting it up I'll just set an expectation because we don't know yet. Once we do the troubleshooting, we can either resolve your issue, we can either set up your router, or we may not. It's 50 50 probabilities because we don't know the real cause of your router being disconnected. But your router [silence]
09:00
Speaker 2
But you're saying, though, even if I pay $15, that that's still not it's still not a guarantee fix, correct?
09:00
Speaker 1
Router is working fine, but what we cannot guarantee is, we don't know if it's a problem with your internet provider. So, we may be able to set up your router, but then you cannot uh you cannot access your internet because you don't have uh internet uh connection. But uh you mentioned that you have uh but you mentioned that you have called your internet provider, Spectrum, and they said your connection uh the connection is good. So, can you verify uh confirm that what they're telling you is correct by connecting a computer directly to your spectrum modem and see if your computer So that's uh the uh problem. We cannot be sure if your internet provider is Transcribe this audio from the left channel.
10:00
Speaker 2
Yes, I don't have a computer.
10:00
Speaker 1
... is telling you the truth, because ... We cannot check ... on your modem if it's really supplying internet to your router. But if you are ... if you are in doubt and you are not sure if you pay the paid support, your order will not be resolved. You can, we can send you the guidelines, it's free, the email support. If you don't want to apply for the paid support. Um
11:00
Speaker 2
Just one second please.
11:00
Speaker 1
Oh, because, yeah, um, you paid for the router when you purchase it. And just like other appliances, when you bought when you bought it, there's a warranty status for every appliances that we can provide you technical support so long as it's still in warranty. But this router is no longer in warranty. So we can only provide you technical support if you apply for the paid support. We cannot provide you free, uh, technical assistance. Pardon? Your warranty went out last 2023. Yes.
12:00
Speaker 2
Can you see when my warranty went out?
12:00
Speaker 1
When did you raise this issue? Because I've checked on our system, there's no record that, uh, you called Linksys before. Yeah. Because if you have called Linksys before, we will have a record on this in our system. What's the phone number you used? Hello? What's the phone number you used to call us before? So I could check.
13:00
Speaker 2
because I have, I've had this issue recently and nobody mentioned anything about this to me and they, helped me fix the problem and went on. How much. I'm sorry. Let me see. Let me see if I can, yeah, well it wasn't this phone. Number. So, does this seem like to you, maybe I should just get a new route? I'm, I'm, I'm not sure, man. I don't, I don't remember, but do you think I should just get a new route? [silence]
13:00
Speaker 1

I will not walk you through the guidelines. Uh the guidelines uh is easy to do. You just need to read the instruction or guide that I'll be sending to your email and that is free.
