    What You'll Be Doing

    You're helping run operations for a product with a clear service-level expectation: most customer or internal tickets should be resolved within 2 hours.

    Over the last few weeks, the average resolution time has slipped to almost a full day, yet ticket volume hasn't obviously spiked. Some people blame "tool slowness," others say requests are "more complex now," but nobody has a clear, data-backed explanation.

    We're looking for real-world operational thinking, not theory --- assume this is happening in a small, fast, high-accountability team.

    Record a video walking us through how you'd diagnose this problem, what you'd do to stabilize it, and how your approach reflects how you like to work.
