N 44°56′The Voice AI Teardown · N° 00

Find out why your voice AI fails before your customers tell you.

A working diagnostic of your IVR or voice agent, delivered in five business days. We call your system the way real customers do and measure what actually happens.

N 01°The gap

Your voice agent demos fine. Then Monday morning happens: real callers, real interruptions, real background noise, real accents. Most voice AI deployments fail in production for reasons that never show up in a demo.

The Teardown is a five-day diagnostic built from the same evaluation methodology we use in full platform audits. We call your system the way real customers do and measure what actually happens.

N 02°What you getFive deliverables. Evidence, not impressions.

A measured diagnostic, with the recordings to prove it.

N° 01

Latency benchmarking on your live system

Time to first audio, response latency, and barge-in recovery, measured against production-grade baselines from our published benchmark data.

N° 02

Interruption and turn-taking analysis

What happens when callers talk over your agent, hesitate, or change their mind mid-sentence. The moments a demo never tests.

N° 03

Failure mode inventory

Dead ends, loops, misrecognitions, and escalation gaps, with call recordings as evidence you can play back.

N° 04

A written findings report

Every finding ranked by revenue impact, so the fixes that matter most are the ones at the top.

N° 05

A 45-minute readout call

A live walkthrough of the findings with specific, prioritized fixes. You leave with a plan, not a PDF.

N 03°Common questions

01Do you need access to our systems?

No. The Voice AI Teardown tests from the outside, the same way your customers experience it. If you want deeper analysis behind the interface, that is what the full AI Readiness Audit is for.

02What if our voice AI is fine?

Then you get documented proof it is fine, with benchmark numbers you can put in front of leadership. It happens, though it is rare.

03Who does the work?

Ryan Schuetz, ProofNorth’s founder. Twenty years building production voice and telephony systems, and the founder of an active voice AI platform. You work directly with the person who runs the evaluation, start to finish.
