Choosing **metrics for a support operation** comes down to which figures change what someone does today. Anything that does not is reporting rather than management.

## Metrics that rarely change behaviour

They are reported often and acted on seldom.

- Total tickets handled, with no context
- Average resolution time across all types at once
- Satisfaction scores with no attached cause
- Volume by channel, where the channel is the customer's choice

## Metrics that do

| Metric                        | What it changes                      |
| ----------------------------- | ------------------------------------ |
| **Waiting on us**             | Where effort goes right now          |
| **Time per phase**            | Which step to fix                    |
| **Messages per conversation** | Whether cases resolve or drag        |
| **AI contribution**           | Whether to expand automation         |
| **Repeat contacts**           | Whether resolutions actually resolve |

## How to capture them in Jestor

1. Route email and **WhatsApp** into one pipeline in **Jestor** so metrics are comparable.
2. Use the reply indicator — green when your team replied last, yellow when the customer did.
3. Enable log metrics so time per phase is captured automatically.
4. Add a classification field the **AI** agent fills, recording how much it contributed.
5. Apply conditional colour against targets so slippage is visible without reading figures.

## Why choose Jestor for support measurement?

**Jestor** shows message count and time per phase from outside the card, so the metric that matters most — which conversations are waiting — is visible by scanning the board.

Because every channel becomes a record, response time is comparable across email and messaging rather than measurable only where reporting happens to exist.
