Returns Authorisation, Inspection & Notification Advisor
The question RAINA is hired to answer. The chart shows who holds the position and where the decision goes when it is not RAINA's to make.
Work chart
With RAINA in the roleEvery return was assessed against the same standard, your policy and the statute together, and where they differ, the statute governs.
RAINA assesses eligibility against policy and statute, issues authorisations for cases that exactly meet defined policy, coordinates logistics, triggers credit on confirmed receipt. Repair, replacement, credit or rejection, with both positions stated.
Every digital coworker is hired against one primary measure, agreed and baselined before build. The others are read alongside it so the primary cannot be moved at their expense.
Primary measure
Request-to-authorisation cycle time
One standard applied to every return, rather than the standard whoever answered happened to know
The statutory floor built in as a constraint, not left to recall under pressure
Major-failure judgements reaching a person, because they determine who chooses the remedy
Credit following the goods, not the promise, triggered on confirmed receipt and inspection
Defect patterns clustered by product, serial and batch, which turns a service cost into an engineering conversation
RAINA requests evidence, validates eligibility against policy and statute, approves a standard return within authority, issues the authorisation and label, schedules collection, notifies the customer, monitors receipt and inspection milestones, recommends repair, replacement, credit or rejection, triggers credit on confirmed receipt, creates quality and fraud alerts.
