Which packet gaps generate avoidable owner questions?
Link first-submitted evidence packets to clarification and correction events.
Research question: Which observable omissions are followed by an owner clarification request?
Scope: eight weeks of consecutive first submissions from two named queues using one frozen checklist.
Methodology: Retain originals, code required fields before viewing downstream events, and link questions, corrections, decisions, and unresolved states by stable ID.
Unit of analysis: one first-submitted packet for one exception decision. Stable identifiers prevent messages and edits from inflating the denominator.
Classification: complete, missing source, identifier, chronology, conflicting evidence, unclear question, wrong owner, or unusable. Observable states remain separate from causal judgment.
Measures: gap counts and denominators, question proportion, time to usable packet, correction count, and unresolved age. Report counts, denominators, distributions, and missingness.
Validation: Two reviewers code a stratified sample, reconcile the codebook, and test it on unseen packets.
A Philippines-based specialist may collect permitted records and apply the frozen codebook. Internal owners retain privacy, security, legal, financial, employment, policy, and customer-remedy decisions.
Use named access, minimum necessary data, documented retention, and de-identified reporting where practical. Record exclusions before outcome review.
Inference limits: Associations do not prove that an omission caused delay.
Limitations: Private-channel questions may be absent, complexity varies, and results may not transfer beyond the checklist.
Conclusion: Revise fields repeatedly preceding clarification and repeat the protocol.
