ModelRefs / Self-Service Deflection — Architecture Blueprint
Self-Service Deflection — Architecture Blueprint
Production architecture blueprint for Self-Service Deflection: components, deployment patterns, cost & latency optimization, security, observability, and the production launch checklist.
Overview
Self-service deflection classifies inbound questions against the help-centre taxonomy, retrieves the most relevant article or guided troubleshooting flow, and presents the result with an explainability note showing which keywords and intent signals drove the match. The model reports a confidence score; low-confidence responses surface an alternate article and offer human escalation rather than a potentially wrong answer. The deflection rate, false-deflection rate and escalation reasons are tracked to continuously improve the routing model.
