Statistics and analytics

Reading what your AI front desk is actually handling, so decisions come from your own numbers rather than impressions.

Questions worth asking of the data

Numbers on their own do not tell you what to change. These do.

Is the escalation rate rising?
Usually missing knowledge rather than a worse model. Read the transcripts behind the escalations.
When do calls actually arrive?
If a third arrive outside your hours, your out-of-hours handling matters more than you think.
What is the AI failing to answer?
Every unanswered question is a candidate for your knowledge base.
Is latency drifting?
Compare across days, not calls. A single slow call is noise.
Care

Reading the numbers honestly

Small samples mislead. A 50% escalation rate across four calls tells you almost nothing. Wait for a volume that means something before changing configuration on the strength of it.
