Who this guide helps
Sales teams testing message classification
The short answer
Begin with classification and draft suggestions, leaving external communication and commitments under human control. A triage label should include enough evidence for a reviewer to challenge it.
Practical workflow
Define categories using real business tasks, then test on authorized, minimized examples. Give the model no permission to send, delete or change commercial terms. Separate uncertain cases and messages with legal, payment or safety implications. Log the suggested category and relevant source text.
What a useful handoff looks like
Compare suggestions with human review and inspect errors by category, not only an overall accuracy score. Keep a manual route available and document when a suggestion must be ignored.
Mistakes to avoid
Do not treat plausible wording as proof of customer intent or expose a shared inbox to an unreviewed tool. Current NIST guidance is a useful risk-management reference, not certification.
Working example: fields to record
| Field | Illustrative entry — replace with your own facts |
|---|---|
| Category | Pricing enquiry or support issue |
| Evidence | Relevant authorized message excerpt |
| Human action | Reviewer approves next step |
Add your own entries; the example is illustrative. Keep sensitive information private.
Sources & further checks
Official references are starting points for further checks, not approval of a specific case, product or project.
