Example output

KPI Definition: Customer Support & Automation

KPI List

  • First Response Time (FRT): Time taken for the initial reply to an inquiry.
  • Resolution Rate (RR): Percentage of tickets successfully closed within a period.
  • Customer Satisfaction Score (CSAT): Direct feedback rating from the user.
  • AI Deflection Rate: Percentage of inquiries resolved without human intervention.

Definitions

FRT measures speed; RR measures completion; CSAT measures quality; Deflection Rate measures the effectiveness of automated tools and self-service help docs.

Measurement Method

Data is pulled directly from helpdesk software timestamps, post-ticket surveys, and AI interaction logs (counting ‘no-action’ follow-ups within 24 hours).

Targets

  • FRT: < 30 minutes.
  • RR: > 85% within 48 hours.
  • CSAT: 4.5 / 5.0.
  • AI Deflection Rate: 35%.

Alignment to Goals

Speed (FRT) and Resolution (RR) drive efficiency, while CSAT ensures quality is not sacrificed for speed. Deflection Rate enables the team to scale without proportional hiring…
