Of course this is just an interpretation of these guides and obviously actual process may be different internally, but they give you an idea.
There are lots of these guides for staff online – they all start with the url assets (dot) publishing (dot) service
E.g.
Are you guys aware of this website? Similar thread running since 2011
Just got (what I hope will be the final step!!) a tracking e-mail from Royal mail saying they will deliver my supporting documents/old passport tomorrow. Amen, brothers and sisters!
Is there anyone here that applied after naturalisation?
If this will be your first British Passport then yes there will be an interview – at the moment they are being done virtually.
Not necessarily – I did not have to go through an interview for my 1st passport poet-naturalisation, seek my posts for more details
Seems our passports were in close proximity:

Passport printed and sent: 14 March 2022 08:50am
Application approved: 11 March 2022 1:28am+ Mine was delivered just now. No TNT e-mail, no SMS, just pure relief!
Courage!
Package + Delivery Time of 18 March 2022 appeared on the TNT tracking today, 17 March 2022.
Forgot to mention that found out about the above from checking the TNT link every few hours, not from a TNT SMS or e-mail
Iiiiincomiiiiing!!!

I see this bit is particularly tricky as neither HMPO or TNT can give you an update while the passport changes hands between them – so really glad this is now done!]
Perhaps some of the posters could use this (Guidance for/if compensation due):
Great start of the week:

Ask someone to confirm your identity 10:59pm on 21 February 2022
Application submitted 10:59pm on 21 February 2022Sadly, this means for HMPO to be quoting average time of 6 weeks for first adult passport, there is someone who will have to wait 8 weeks!
@ djbdane You say
first applications have to have an interview
Well, as I wasn’t aware, seems I have sneaked in under the radar here
