Per-complexity deflection ceilings.

  • Simple

    75%

    FAQ, account lookups, status updates - the AI-deflectable tier-1 bulk.

  • Medium

    40%

    Bookable steps: cancellations, refunds, account changes, scheduling.

  • Complex

    8%

    Multi-system or judgement calls. Humans still own these in Logistics.

What to model

What we see in Logistics deployments.

  • ยท Tier-1 dominates volume; chat deflects best.
  • ยท Channel mix matters more than headline volume - voice-heavy mixes drag the projection.
  • ยท Country-specific loaded agent cost (BLS / ONS / ABS / Eurostat) drives the labour baseline.
  • ยท Hidden costs typically subtract 15-25% from gross savings.

What to watch out for

The four hidden cost buckets.

  • ยท Token / API consumption: 10-15% of gross savings, ongoing.
  • ยท Helpdesk integration: $25K-$35K one-time.
  • ยท Training data prep: $12K-$18K one-time.
  • ยท QA + supervision: ~8% of agent cost, ongoing.

Frequently asked

Logistics questions.

How accurate are the Logistics deflection benchmarks?

Aggregated from Salesforce State of Service, Gartner CIO Survey, McKinsey State of AI, Crescendo CX Benchmarks, and Zendesk CX Trends. Refreshed quarterly. Expect ยฑ20% accuracy on the mid estimate when your channel mix and complexity mix are reasonably well known.

Can I override the industry defaults?

Yes. The wizard pre-fills the industry but every input is editable - channel mix, complexity mix, agent cost, AHT, volume. The model recomputes live in the browser.

Does the projection include hidden costs?

Yes. Token spend, helpdesk integration, training data prep, and QA + supervision are subtracted from gross savings before you see the headline number.

Is the build-vs-buy verdict biased toward custom?

No. The recommendation engine is CI-audited - SaaS must be recommended in at least 40% of synthetic scenarios. Current distribution: SaaS 74%, Custom 6%, Hybrid 20%.
