Rollout risks
Where voice AI rollouts go wrong, and what we do about it.
- 01
The demo isn't your calls.
Every shortlisted vendor runs the same test script on your real call types, scored on the same rubric.
- 02
Storage region isn't processing region.
We check what each vendor publishes and get residency and processing commitments in writing.
- 03
Incumbent add-on or AI-native specialist?
We compare your contact-centre platform's own AI agents with specialist vendors, on your stack.
- 04
Per-minute or per-resolution pricing?
We model each pricing structure on your call volumes before you sign.
- 05
Go-live slips with no remedy.
We write go-live milestones and exit terms into the contract.
How we engage

Selection & Rollout Governance

- Principal-led. You work with the principal advisor directly, with no hand-off to juniors.
- We don't build or resell platforms. The vendor or your integrator builds, and we keep the rollout honest.
How we're paid. You pay the fixed fees in our pricing table. If you select a platform, that vendor may also pay Cadence a success fee, at the same rate whichever platform you choose. Before an engagement starts we tell you which vendors we have fee agreements with. Platform licences are paid to the vendor directly.
- For
- Organisations running a contact centre or a multi-site operation, choosing or rescuing a voice AI rollout, in any industry.
