Casework capacity measured and evidenced

Pyze measures how case handling and administrative work is performed, and produces the evidence a public body needs before committing to a change.

Engagement archetypes from Pyze deployments in this sector rather than a single named account.

Public bodies are asked to demonstrate value with a level of rigour commercial organisations rarely face, and usually without the instrumentation to do so. A measured baseline supports claims that can be evidenced and defended.

Common Findings in Public Sector

Four patterns that recur across engagements, each shown with the measurement and the resulting change.

Caseload is rising and there is no evidence base showing where time is spent.

Simplify
What the measurement shows

A measured baseline by case type, team and site, established before any change is proposed.

What changes

The business case rests on measurement instead of estimation, which supports review and scrutiny.

Each site reports that its process is different and considers the difference necessary.

Standardize
What the measurement shows

Procedures held as one standard plus differences per site, so necessary variation can be separated from accumulated variation.

What changes

One national standard where possible, with local differences documented.

Administrative burden is reducing frontline time.

Automate
What the measurement shows

Administrative effort is measured separately from casework, and the recurring components are identified.

What changes

Rule-based administration is removed and the released time is traced to where it is used.

An automation programme was delivered and its results cannot be evidenced.

Agentify
What the measurement shows

No baseline was measured beforehand, so neither the claimed benefit nor any counter-claim can be evidenced.

What changes

Instrumentation is deployed before the next change, so the results are measured.

Opportunity Register

A sample register, sorted by the lever that resolves each opportunity. In an engagement, each line carries measured hours, a named owner and the evidence it was derived from.

Case intake triage
Agentify
Classified against published criteria, ambiguity escalated.
Evidence assembly
Automate
Compiled from the record instead of gathered by hand.
Correspondence drafting
Agentify
Drafted from the case position, issued by a person.
Cross-site standardisation
Standardize
One national standard plus documented local difference.
Administrative removal
Simplify
Rule-based administration removed from frontline time.
Status response
Agentify
Enquiries answered from data already in the record.
Reporting
Automate
Statutory returns compiled from the execution record.
Caseload levelling
Rebalance
Assignment levelled against measured effort.
Automate and Agentify are distinct findings. Scheduling a report is deterministic work with a stated rule. Diagnosing an exception is a decision. Separating the two prevents a register from over-scoping the first and missing the second.

Capture covers browser-delivered and thick-client applications, including virtualized estates, with no change to how anyone works.

Roles Involved

Case handlingClinical administrationShared servicesTransformation and change

Instrumentation is configured per application rather than per person, so the population in scope is set during scoping and is not a deployment constraint.

How an Engagement Runs

Baseline, blueprint, transform, prove

The same four stages apply in every sector. The fourth stage repeats the baseline measurement, which makes the engagement an ongoing operating capability rather than a one-time report.

01

Baseline

What the work costs today, measured across every person and application.

02

Blueprint

Procedures, application rules and execution evidence, read as one target state.

03

Transform

Where each of the five levers applies, priced and owned.

04

Prove

The after state measured against the baseline, using the same method.

Frequently Asked Questions

How is staff privacy protected?
Capture is pseudonymous with no PII and no content capture. Measurement is designed to assess the work and not to monitor individual workers, and this is built into the architecture instead of depending on policy.

Start with a measured baseline

Six weeks from instrumentation to a priced opportunity register, and the baseline stays in place so later quarters are measured rather than re-estimated.
