The Resolution Rate standard

Deflection isn't resolution.

The support industry hides behind “deflection rate” — a number that counts a customer walking away as a win. There's a better yardstick, and it's the one every AI vendor should have to answer for.

Definition

Resolution Rate is the share of customer conversations an AI resolves end-to-end, correctly, without a human — the refund issued, the answer given with a source, the order placed. Not merely answered. Not deflected. Actually done.

Two numbers. Only one is honest.

✕ Deflection rate

“The customer didn't reach us.”

Counts every conversation that avoided a human — including the ones where the customer gave up, got a dead-end, or rage-quit. It can go up while your experience goes down.

✓ Resolution rate

“The customer's problem got solved.”

Counts only conversations the AI actually closed correctly, end-to-end. You can't inflate it by frustrating people into leaving. It's the number that tracks reality.

How to calculate yours

Resolution Rate = conversations resolved end-to-end without a human ÷ total conversations

A conversation only counts as resolved if the request was actually completed. That means:

What's your resolution rate?

If your current tool can't tell you — or only reports deflection — that's the answer. Agrim will show you a real one, measured on outcomes, from day one.

Resolution Rate — the questions

What is a good bot resolution rate?+

Most deployed support bots resolve well under half of conversations end-to-end; the rest are deflected or escalated. A strong AI agent should resolve the clear majority autonomously. Agrim resolves 95.75% of investor queries for RVNL — measured on outcomes, not deflection.

What's the difference between deflection rate and resolution rate?+

Deflection rate counts conversations that never reached a human — including ones the customer abandoned unresolved. Resolution rate counts only conversations the AI actually closed correctly, end-to-end. Deflection can hide failure; resolution can't.

How do you measure resolution rate?+

Resolution rate = conversations resolved end-to-end without a human ÷ total conversations. A conversation counts as resolved only if the customer's request was actually completed — the refund issued, the answer given with a source, the order placed — not merely answered or deflected.
