## TL;DR
Fix this in detractor alert routing agent with Medallia by acting on the exact problem first: resolve the account owner from the CRM record for each stuck alert, route alerts one by one with each routing saved, add a timed escalation for alerts that stay in the shared queue, and clear the current queue manually while the fix is verified. Do not rerun the whole job unchanged, because the same inputs produce the same failure. Prove the fix on one response, batch or record set first, then rerun the full scope and reconcile the counts.

## Use this when
- The operation in detractor alert routing agent with Medallia fails with this exact problem or symptom: agent failed to route Medallia detractor alerts stuck in the shared queue error failure timeout.
- The same failure repeats on retry with unchanged inputs.
- NPS follow-up, routing or reporting is blocked until this item completes.

## Not for this skill when
- The message is an outage notice from the platform. Resolve that first, then return here if this problem remains.
- The operation completes and you only disagree with its output quality. That is a quality review, not this failure.

## Steps
1. Reproduce the failure with the smallest scope that still shows it in detractor alert routing agent with Medallia, and copy the full problem plus the response, contact or job involved into the run notes. Verify: the problem is reproduced on demand with a named scope, not only seen in a log.
2. Apply the specific fix for this problem: resolve the account owner from the CRM record for each stuck alert, route alerts one by one with each routing saved, add a timed escalation for alerts that stay in the shared queue, and clear the current queue manually while the fix is verified. Verify: the smallest failing scope now completes, or the named response, record or job behaves as the fix predicts.
3. Check the neighbouring responses, records or jobs that share the same config, segment or credential, because this class of failure rarely affects only one item. Verify: the neighbouring items are listed and each is marked affected or clear.
4. Rerun the original operation in detractor alert routing agent with Medallia on the previously failing scope, watching for the same problem rather than assuming success from a quiet log. Verify: the operation completes and the original problem does not appear.
5. Compare the result counts or status against the source in detractor alert routing agent with Medallia so a silent partial success is caught before sign off. Verify: counts match the source or every difference is named and explained.
6. Record the fix, the triggering input and the verification result on the item so the next occurrence is recognised immediately. Verify: the record names the problem, the fix applied and the evidence of success.

## Why it happens
Alerts defaulted to the shared queue whenever owner lookup was slow, and a timeout in that lookup left a batch of real detractors waiting where no named person watches.
