Use Cases & Optimization Goals

If you can measure it, Converra can optimize for it. These are the most common use cases and optimization goals teams bring across Output Quality, Behavior, Deployment, and Performance.

Output Quality

Get reliable, grounded responses.

Hallucinations

Ungrounded claims that erode trust and create liability

KPIs: Groundedness score, citation accuracy

Context & RAG Quality

Agent ignores or misuses available retrieved context and sources (RAG: retrieval-augmented generation)

KPIs: Context coverage, answer supported by context rate

Schema Failures

Structured outputs from the agent break downstream systems

KPIs: Parse success rate, schema compliance

Tool Calling Errors

Wrong tools, bad arguments, failed executions

KPIs: Tool success rate, argument validity

Instruction Following

Agent ignores or partially follows user instructions

KPIs: Instruction compliance rate, constraint adherence

Behavior

Keep your agent within bounds.

Multi-turn Coherence

Conversation state breaks, forgets constraints, contradicts itself

KPIs: Contradiction rate, state-consistency score

Refusal Calibration

Agent refusal behavior is too strict or too permissive on policy boundaries

KPIs: False refusal rate, safe-helpfulness score

Excessive Agency

Agent takes actions beyond its intended scope

KPIs: Scope adherence, escalation rate

Policy Adherence

The agent stays within safety and compliance guidelines

KPIs: Policy violation rate, safety score

Tone & Brand

The agent maintains voice consistency across interactions

KPIs: Brand alignment, tone consistency

Escalation Handling

The agent knows when to hand off to humans vs. keep trying

KPIs: Escalation accuracy, false escalation rate

Response Length

Responses are too verbose or too terse for the context

KPIs: Length appropriateness, user satisfaction

Deployment

Ship changes with confidence.

No-Regression Updates

Change prompts without breaking what works

KPIs: Regression rate, A/B lift

Goal Completion

The metric that matters: did the user succeed?

KPIs: Task success rate, resolution rate

Model Migration

Switch models without breaking behavior

KPIs: Cross-model parity, migration success rate

Prompt Versioning

Track what changed and safely rollback if needed

KPIs: Version comparison, rollback frequency

Performance

Keep your agent fast, cheap, and stable.

Drift & Decay

Agent performance degrades as models update and usage shifts

KPIs: Week-over-week metric stability

Cost Blowups

Token usage spikes without clear visibility into the cause

KPIs: Cost per conversation, tokens per turn

Latency Issues

Response times creep up and hurt user experience

KPIs: p50/p95 response time

Inconsistency

The same inputs produce different outputs across runs

KPIs: Response variance, determinism score
