Ask how many systems representatives switch between and the top call reasons. A bounded engagement is a data-access and privacy review plus a call-handling baseline before go-live. Do not claim faster calls or fewer complaints; none are reported.","engineering":"Engineering framing: Agent360 reads Tyler billing and Neptune meter data into one interface. Check whether access is read-only, how often data syncs, and whether customer data is used to train models. A proof of value would measure handle time and first-contact resolution for billing and high-usage calls before and after.","delivery":"Delivery framing: the owner is the utility billing or customer service manager with city IT. Establish baselines, confirm data-sharing terms and train representatives to verify AI answers against source records. Proposed acceptance criteria are handle time and error rates on billing answers.
