Launch sequence (10 business days)
1. Map reality
We import the last 60 days of signal to surface peak times, abandonment, and conversion leakage.
2. Wire the line
Forwarding rules, SMS numbers, and CRM/EHR webhooks get connected. No rip-and-replace—just reroute what already exists.
3. Train the voice
We fine-tune the lightorb agent on your tone, compliance statements, and escalation criteria so every answer feels on-brand.
4. Launch & watch
Dashboards show resolved vs. escalated calls, average triage time, and any call that still needs human follow-up.
