Resolution rate

The percentage of interactions where the customer's actual problem was solved, not just answered. The most honest single number for measuring AI agent quality.

Resolution rate is what you want to know when you are evaluating a CX-AI vendor. Deflection tells you what the agent absorbed. Containment tells you what didn't escalate. Resolution tells you what actually got solved.

The hard part is measuring it. A vendor can mark a call as 'resolved' the moment the agent ends it, but the customer may have hung up frustrated. The honest way to measure resolution is to combine multiple signals: post-call CSAT, callback within twenty-four hours, follow-up email to a human, downstream system reflecting the requested action.

A vendor that publishes resolution rate with the methodology is doing serious work. A vendor that only publishes deflection rate is hiding something.
