The industry is abandoning throughput-focused metrics—calls handled per hour, abandonment rates—in favor of outcome-based measurement: first-contact resolution, customer satisfaction, and adherence to compliance frameworks.

The companies winning now are those building "governed execution" layers that force AI systems to follow approval workflows, escalation rules, and quality checkpoints rather than maximizing autonomous decisions.
