From Deflection to Resolution: The Economics of Autonomous Voice

A deep, data-backed read on why autonomous resolution, not deflection, is the metric that matters, how TokenTrim™ inference-compression bends the cost curve, and what a self-improving loop does to unit economics over twelve weeks in production.

Live Benchmarks

Numbers you can reproduce.

We publish the benchmarks that drive our cost and scale claims, methodology included, so you can run them against your own workloads. Two we get asked about most: inference-token compression, and concurrency under load.

Methodology

TokenTrim™ measured on a representative billing-dispute interaction with grounding and tool calls, comparing raw context against compressed inference context (98,938 → 9,465 tokens). Concurrency run as a sustained load test ramping to ~10,000 simultaneous voice sessions on a single region, measuring p95 end-to-end latency and resolution success. The full concurrency framework, reference Azure architecture and acceptance thresholds are published, read the summary or download the paper. TokenTrim™ datasets ship with the featured whitepaper.
