Where backlog accumulates
Cases move from intake to triage to adjudication to fulfilment, and backlog builds when intake outpaces the capacity to decide. The lever is automating the routing, so accountable officers spend their time on judgment, not on sorting and chasing.
Automate the routing, not the judgment
AI classifies, extracts from documents, summarises a case file, and drafts a response. The decision stays with the officer who is accountable for it. The condition that makes the speed defensible is that every AI-influenced step is logged and traceable to its inputs.
That is exactly the discipline the GAO accountability framework sets out: governance, data, performance, and monitoring.
Where the ERP closes the loop
On Hudace, finance, licensing, and case management share one record, so there is no duplicate or contradictory case data to reconcile. Xenon AI carries the routing and the drafting, with each action recorded for audit.
The officer decides, and the trail behind the decision is complete by default.
The numbers to watch
Track throughput and the citizen experience, with audit health alongside.
Time to resolution
Median time from intake to a decision. The headline backlog measure.
Aged-case ratio
Cases open beyond the target SLA / total open cases. Where backlog concentrates.
First-contact resolution
Share of enquiries resolved without a follow-up. A direct citizen-experience signal.
Audit findings
Issues raised at review. Should fall, not rise, as routing is automated.
