Raise FTE and BPO capability through onboarding, certification, coaching, recurring calibration, and vendor-performance partnership. Use quality, appeals, SLA, backlog, and disagreement signals to diagnose root causes and prioritize high-leverage fixes. Build hands-on solutions—SQL analyses, scripts, dashboards, LLM eval workflows, evidence enrichment, routing logic, and lightweight automations—that improve decision quality and reduce manua
