Key finding
For offshore back office team: exception pattern study, ask which exceptions repeat and where decision rights become unclear. The review should follow back office processing from intake through accepted output rather than relying on task counts or self-reported completion. Report repeat triggers, unresolved age, and the handoff where escalation stalled. The evidence should make an incomplete record or policy exception visible before work crosses the role boundary, while approval remains with the operations manager.
