# Catching a Silent Agent Failure Before the Client Did

## The challenge

An IT solutions provider's client-facing support agent handled ticket intake and routine troubleshooting, but nobody was watching it after hours. A model update changed how it handled a common phrase, and it started misrouting urgent tickets. No one caught it for two days.

## What we built

We took over hosting and monitoring for the existing agent. Accuracy tracking and uptime alerts run continuously, so a change like that gets caught and fixed the same day it happens.

## The result

The company has a named contact who calls them when something needs attention, instead of finding out from a client complaint.
