CSAT (customer satisfaction score)

A short post-interaction survey, usually a single rating from 1–5, that measures whether the customer felt the interaction went well.

CSAT is the most widely-used customer experience metric because it is cheap to collect and easy to read. The standard format is a one-question survey: "how would you rate this interaction" on a 1–5 scale, sent after a call or chat.

For AI-handled interactions, the interesting question is the gap between AI CSAT and human-agent CSAT. A good system narrows that gap to within a few points. A great one closes it. A bad one widens it, and you find out only after the customer has churned.

A serious vendor reports CSAT segmented by outcome, calls the agent resolved, calls that handed off, calls that escalated to a supervisor. The blended number alone is not useful.
