Granted vs Reached
Two lists, two minutes: what you think your agent can do, and what it can actually reach.
Take your last ten inquiries and give each one a row.
The ECHO line
Ten rows will tell you more than the one example that annoyed you most.
A one-page sheet for reviewing your last ten inquiries: what came in, what the agent did, where it went, who finished it, and how many minutes it took to finish. Run it before you change anything, so you start from a baseline instead of an anecdote. It works the same way for any other recurring job.
Work that looks finished and isn't, and supervision time you haven't counted.
30 min
Keep the sheet as your baseline. Change one thing, the pattern that cost you the most minutes, then fill ten new rows and compare. Check that any improvement didn't just come from the agent stopping more often or doing less.
A pasted role guides the agent. Your tool's settings are what stop an action.
