Handoff Friction Mapping

Use this to find where AI-to-human transitions fail and why.

  • Trigger: what caused handoff
  • Context quality: what data was available
  • Repair effort: minutes to recover
  • Sentiment shift: before vs after

Prioritize issues by frequency × repair effort × sentiment drop.
