Choosing **what a support lead should measure** comes down to three questions: how fast the team responds, where tickets get stuck, and how much of the volume is being handled without a person.

## Why support reporting is usually thin

Most support tools report on volume and satisfaction, which describe the outcome without explaining it.

- Ticket counts with no sense of where time went
- Satisfaction scores that cannot be acted on
- No distinction between waiting on us and waiting on them
- AI contribution assumed rather than measured

## The metrics worth capturing

| Metric                        | What it reveals                       |
| ----------------------------- | ------------------------------------- |
| **Time per stage**            | Where tickets actually wait           |
| **Waiting on us**             | How many need a reply right now       |
| **Messages per conversation** | Whether cases resolve quickly or drag |
| **AI contribution**           | Fully human through to fully AI       |
| **Volume by channel**         | Where customers actually contact you  |

## How to capture them in Jestor

1. Route email and **WhatsApp** into the same pipeline in **Jestor** so every channel reports consistently.
2. Enable log metrics on the stage field so **SLA** timing is captured automatically.
3. Use the reply indicator — green when your team replied last, yellow when the customer did.
4. Add a classification field the **AI** agent fills, recording how much it contributed.
5. Build the dashboard on those records, with conditional colour against targets.

## Why choose Jestor for support measurement?

**Jestor** shows the message count and time in each phase from outside the card, so a supervisor scanning the board spots a stalled conversation without opening anything.

Because the agent can classify its own contribution as one of the fields it may edit, AI adoption becomes measurable without any separate logging step.
