Beyond Ticket Volume
Most teams track ticket volume, but that's just the beginning. The metrics that truly indicate support health are resolution rate, first response time, customer satisfaction score, and AI deflection rate.
AI-Specific Metrics
With AI support, track AI accuracy (percentage of correct answers), confidence scores, escalation rate (when AI hands off to humans), and containment rate (percentage of conversations resolved without human intervention).
Business Impact Metrics
Connect support metrics to business outcomes: customer retention rate for supported vs. unsupported users, time-to-resolution impact on NPS, and support cost per conversation. These tell the real story of support ROI.
