Flatten the Deadline
Everyone waits for the last day. Move them earlier, and prove it.
The job
Shift demand away from the final days of a known deadline (amnesty, early-payment discount, registration, filing, renewal) so systems and centres don't collapse on the last day, and report the staffing and waiting time saved.
The moment
With 11 days left the gauge shows 38% of posts saying they always extend. The authority puts a no-extension line in the AI agent and hotline, the tank drains by 41,000 completions in 48 hours (from the portal's own counts), and the final-day spike is half the last amnesty's ghost: 2,900 overtime hours not worked.
What it does
- Register a deadline and comparable past deadlines
- Fire a nudge wave to a consented cohort
- Publish the no-extension answer line
- Draft a multilingual clarification
- Send the outcome brief
What you see
A draining tank of people still to come with the ghost of the last deadline's flood, an extension-expectation gauge and nudge-wave markers; ends in a one-page outcome brief
What it moves
Share of deadline demand arriving before the final 72 hours and the final-day contact/visit peak vs the last comparable deadline, converted into overtime hours and centre waiting time avoided
