## Sources

[#Section titled "Sources"](#sources)

Each step adds one source an answer can draw on, from what the thread already holds to what only the team knows. What stays below 100% at the last step needs a person.

<summary>How the numbers were computed</summary>



The export holds one row per customer message. A question is a message that asks for something; thanks and scheduling are left out. Each question was classified by its type and by the last source a sendable reply needed, in the order the line chart adds them. First reply is the time from the customer's first message to the team's first reply, in calendar hours. Every number on this page comes from one script over the export, <code>analyze.py</code>, and nothing was typed by hand.</details>
