Response latency, 490ms median
Measured from the caller's final phoneme to the first audible phoneme of the reply, over real telephony. Not component sum, not local loopback.
Vendor benchmarks are usually measured under conditions that never occur on a real phone call. These are measured on production telephony, noisy, accented, interrupted, over real codecs, because that is the only number that predicts what your callers will experience.
Each is defined precisely below, because the definition matters more than the figure. A vendor quoting latency without stating where they start and stop the clock is not quoting anything.
Measured from the caller's final phoneme to the first audible phoneme of the reply, over real telephony. Not component sum, not local loopback.
Round-trip from the caller's telephony edge to the inference layer, measured per deployment region. On-premise deployments effectively remove this term entirely.
On production telephony audio including background noise, accents and codec compression. Clean-studio benchmarks run higher and are not reported here because they are not predictive.
Contractual availability with elastic capacity. Measured on successful call handling, not on infrastructure ping.
Sustained concurrent request handling, scaling horizontally with stateless workers.
Median across deployments from scoping call to production traffic. Integration, not model tuning, is the usual critical path.
Full methodology is available to prospective customers under NDA, including the evaluation sets.
Evaluation sets sampled from live telephony across markets, deliberately including poor-quality calls.
Pre-deployment performance measured on the same call categories before the agent handles anything.
Minimum measurement period once live, to capture peak days, edge cases and drift.
Results delivered to the customer including where the agent underperformed the baseline.
Because of what we measure on. Word accuracy on clean studio audio is comfortably above 99% for most modern systems, including ours. On real telephony with noise, accents and codec loss it is 97%, and that is the number that predicts your callers' experience. We report the useful one.
From the caller's final phoneme to the first audible phoneme of the agent's reply, measured over real telephony transport. Not the sum of component processing times, and not measured on a local loopback, both of which produce flattering, meaningless numbers.
It removes network latency to the inference layer, which usually improves end-to-end response. Absolute performance then depends on the GPU hardware available, and we size that against your concurrency requirement during scoping.
Yes, and we encourage it. Pilots are structured so that you measure on your own traffic against your own baseline. Our numbers should be a hypothesis you test, not a claim you accept.
Successful call handling, a call answered and completed or cleanly escalated. Infrastructure availability figures are higher and less meaningful, because a reachable service that fails to complete calls is still an outage to your customers.
