Single initial intent misclassification at intake ('billing issue classified as technical') causes customer to re-explain situation at each subsequent routing decision point, accumulating friction and escalation likelihood. Each re-explanation compounds frustration.

Definition (Deutsch)

Einzelne anfängliche Intent-Fehlklassifikation bei Aufnahme ('Rechnungsausgabe als technisch klassifiziert') verursacht, dass Kunde Situation bei jedem nachfolgenden Routing-Entscheidungspunkt erneut erklären muss, was sich aufstapelnde Reibung und Eskalationswahrscheinlichkeit ansammelt. Jede Neu-Erklärung verstärkt Frustration.
