The top 4 sub-categories — all process and delay related — account for nearly 30% of all complaints. These are not product problems or policy decisions. They are system-generated failure demand that redesigned processes can eliminate.

Failure Demand Estimate

Failure demand is contact that exists only because the system didn't do the right thing first time. It shows up as chasers, repeat calls, and complaints about delays.

Value demand = the member has a legitimate need. Failure demand = the member is chasing something we should have done right first time.

The opportunity

If the 7 task redesigns on the previous page were implemented, the estimated failure demand reduction is 1,200+ contacts per month — roughly half of the current avoidable volume. Each avoided contact frees capacity for value demand, improves member experience, and reduces complaint risk.
