Handoff.

One role's agent passing a conversation to another's when the task crosses roles — a brand's Marcus handing a freight question to the shipper's Harper.

One role's agent passing a conversation to another's when the task crosses roles — a brand's Marcus handing a freight question to the shipper's Harper.

What goes wrong

An agent that answers outside its role is guessing in a confident voice. The handoff exists so the answer comes from the agent with the data.
