Every form per client. Unsigned for more than 14 days escalates to the branch supervisor (illustrative procedure); Wealth Advice Center, remote pooled coverage: 7 days. A segment or client can only shorten this. Reminders are drafted; people send them.

Paperwork

I read 15 forms across Margaret Ellison's 7 client files, against each household's escalation threshold. 4 escalated to the branch supervisor; 7 reminders drafted; 4 signed and closed.

How I got there
  1. 1. ClientRead every form on every fileRequested day, signed day, and any note the team left.
  2. 2. AgentResolved the escalation threshold per householdFirm 14 days; a segment or a client can only shorten it.
  3. 3. AgentEscalated what has been open longer than thatTo the branch supervisor, with the form and the days open.
  4. 4. AgentDrafted a reminder for each open formIn the client's preferred channel, where the file records one.
  5. 5. YouLeft the sending, and the chasing, to a personA reminder leaves only when someone sends it.
