Measure before promising savings

Compare a defined task where possible

  • Time per recurring task or document search
  • Useful-source and correct-retrieval rate
  • Number of correction rounds
  • Completeness and format consistency
  • Error, escalation and cost per task
  • Usage frequency and user satisfaction
