A unified intake path can reduce handoffs while concentrating the consequences of a routing mistake.
Teams often face a trade between faster ownership and the safeguards needed for notices with real customer impact.
Who you’d be doing this for
“When a tax notice lands, I need one answer fast—not three teams asking me again.”

What is at stake
Routing differs by region, so time to the right owner varies threefold, and the slowest paths enter the next filing peak unchanged. You decide what must be true before launch, since the new path is hard to undo.
Why it isn’t already fixed
Every obvious fix costs something else. That’s the part you’d have to decide.
- routing speed vs. high-impact accuracy
- peak deadline vs. verification depth
- unified ownership vs. specialist judgment
- automation throughput vs. auditable control
- customer clarity vs. operational flexibility
