The problem and the proposed outcome
- Application
- Courier and last mile providers — Delivery failure reason classifier
- Problem to solve
- Failure reasons are inconsistently recorded
- Target buyer
- Courier owners, delivery managers
- Intended use
- Employee / expert own workflow; internal business solution
- Benefit to test
- Test whether review or routing becomes more consistent without unacceptable class-specific errors.
- Potential delivery
- Internal application, reviewer dashboard, private assistant or authorized user portal; choose one surface after validating the workflow.
How AI contributes
- AI method
- Text classification or supervised prediction
- Method code
- C
- AI contribution
- Infer a defined label or probability from authorized evidence using a language model or supervised model; show relevant evidence and permit correction.
- Output artifact
- Suggested labels or calibrated probabilities for human review.
- Core modules
- Authorized examples → label model → confidence / evidence → reviewer correction
- Simple baseline
- Keyword routing, manually defined categories and simple statistical models.
- Why test AI
- Could handle variable text or complex contextual relationships that static routing rules miss; verify errors by class.
Define the first pilot
- Pilot track
- Historical data model pilot
- Required data
- Consented attempt notes; approved taxonomy
- Data readiness
- A clear taxonomy or target, representative reviewer-labelled cases and lawful features are needed; sensitive decisions require specialist review.
- First development step
- Define labels and permitted features, annotate representative cases and compare rules with a held-out review set.
- Initial MVP scope
- One defined task, one permitted dataset and one reviewer workflow. Manual upload or authorized export first; no unattended external action. Validate the model before live integration.
- Demo data
- Synthetic or licensed public samples may illustrate the workflow. Real benefit and model performance need representative authorized held-out data.
- Buyer validation question
- Ask Courier owners, delivery managers: show a recent case where failure reasons are inconsistently recorded, record the present effort or error, and confirm whether the required data can lawfully be used.
Measure whether it helps
- Primary success metric
- Classification accuracy
- Model evaluation
- Measure precision and recall by class, macro metrics where suitable, and probability calibration when predicting likelihoods.
- Metric target
- Set after baseline measurement; no improvement or accuracy result asserted.
Review and integration boundaries
- Specialist review
- No special flag; domain review still applies
- Human review boundary
- Reviewer or user confirms labels, exceptions, links or shortlist relevance; no automatic adverse or consequential decision.
- Domain review
- Confirm data ownership, access, source rights, reviewer authority and correction routes with the operator.
