Inquesto Score: A reliability Protocol For Voice Agents
Quick summary
arXiv:2609.30514v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Voice agents are increasingly deployed in workflows where failed interactions can affect transactions, access, and other consequential outcomes, creating a need for reproducible and interpretable evaluation. We introduce Inquesto Score (IS), a protocol for measuring voice-agent reliability as the percentage of calls in a fixed, versioned evaluation population that achieve the caller's goal without a functional failure or worse. Rather than combining heterogeneous metrics, IS defines explicit failure events and severity levels and evaluates the

Why it matters
“Inquesto Score: A reliability Protocol For Voice Agents” highlights the need for repeatable measurement rather than a single impressive demonstration. Independent validation across datasets and clearly stated limitations determine whether a result can guide product decisions.
