Rank the open queue with an explainable two-layer score: every board carries a baseline
weight, each ticket earns modifiers on top. Output is a ranked list a dispatcher can act on —
with the math shown. This is read-only: rank and report, never change priorities, statuses,
or assignments.
1. Fetch open tickets, split per board to stay under result caps; say so if any board's search
may have capped. A ranking over a truncated queue must say it's partial.
2. Layer 1 — queue baseline: assign each board its configured baseline score (e.g. security
40, NOC 30, help desk 20, internal 5). Unconfigured boards get the default baseline and are
called out.
3. Layer 2 — ticket modifiers, additive and bounded, e.g.: priority level (from the desk's
priority mapping), age beyond target, approaching/breached SLA, VIP or strategic client
(from client tier data where present), negative sentiment, and a penalty (not a boost) for
waiting-on-client/vendor states.
4. Compute score = baseline + modifiers for every ticket. Ties break by oldest-first.
5. Output the ranked list: rank, ticket number, client, one-line summary, total score, and the
breakdown (baseline + each modifier). Flag anomalies — a P1 ranking below page one, or a
whole board starved.
Every score must be reproducible from the shown breakdown — no hidden judgment bumps. If you
adjust a rank for a reason outside the model, label it explicitly as an override suggestion.
Waiting-on-client/vendor tickets are de-ranked, not hidden. If scoring weights aren't
configured for this desk, use the documented defaults and say so; never silently invent weights
per run — rankings must be stable between runs.
