A flowchart illustrates a customer support process: 'Customer Query' - 'Identify Issue Type' - (If Technical - 'Route to Tech Support') - (If Billing - 'Route to Billing Dept') - 'Resolve Issue' - 'Confirm Resolution' - 'Close Ticket'. If the 'Identify Issue Type' step frequently encounters delays because agents lack sufficient training to categorize complex requests, at which subsequent step would the *most significant downstream impact* of this bottleneck likely be observed?
