Use when an admin wants to ask an open-ended question about their workforce — such as 'Which team has the highest cost-to-output?' or 'Who should I talk to first?' — and is not sure which specific DeskMonitor tool answers it. The tool logs the question as admin-only telemetry and returns routing guidance pointing to the specific tools most likely to answer.
