In my experience, one of the trickiest measurement problems in digital support is proving that knowledge base updates actually cause deflection lift. Teams often have the intuition—searches drop, contact volume falls—but without a consistent event schema across channels it's nearly impossible...

I want to walk you through a real-world template I use when I need to quantify how improving first response time (FRT) — by any given percentage — will affect customer lifetime value (LTV). This is the kind of modelling that turns CX initiatives from "nice to have" into board-level priorities....

I used to treat reopened tickets as an annoying metric — a little blip on a dashboard that nudged managers to shrug and reassign. Over years of working with support teams, though, I learned that ticket reopenings are a goldmine. They reveal where conversations fail to resolve root causes, where...

I often get asked by support leaders: “How do I know if our knowledge base is actually helping customers — and how quickly can I spot the biggest wins?” If you’ve got 20 minutes and a cup of coffee, you can run a pragmatic, evidence-based audit that surfaces the highest-impact fixes for...
