Intent First Virtual Agent Assessment
A short and practical assessment that helps you launch (or stabilise) a high-trust Virtual Agent by starting with real demand. It reveals which intents matter most, where trust breaks in the current experience, and what to fix or launch next.
It comes in two tracks: Intent Snapshot (choose the right Core Journeys for a pilot) and Health Check (pinpoint why adoption stalled and set a trust-first roadmap). The approach is platform agnostic. If you run ServiceNow, an optional ServiceNow edition can use platform signals to reduce effort and strengthen evidence.
Track 1: Intent Snapshot
Best for: New pilot planning
• Ranked intent shortlist
• Three Core Journeys + blueprints
• Scoreboard + 30–60–90 launch
Time: 5 days (you provide evidence) | 7 days (Monit extracts – ServiceNow only)
Track 2: Health Check
Best for: Stalled adoption
• Capability score (Answer → Anticipate)
• Trust breakdown diagnosis (with evidence)
• Trust-first roadmap + governance loop
Time: 5 days (you provide evidence) | 7 days (Monit extracts – ServiceNow only)
What this assessment helps you do
Stop guessing what to launch first. Build trust early, and scale capability without breaking quality.
Start with the right Core Journeys
Identify the three journeys that matter most and are realistic to deliver end-to-end.
Reduce trust breaks
Pinpoint where conversations fail, including fallbacks, reversion, and handoff gaps, then prioritise fixes.
Measure and govern from day one
Define success measures, clear ownership, and a practical review loop so quality stays consistent.
Who is this for
- Teams preparing a Virtual Agent pilot who need a clear starting point
- Organisations with a live Virtual Agent where trust and adoption have stalled
- Service teams wanting measurable outcomes and a practical next step plan
How it works
A clear four step process that keeps the assessment practical, predictable, and easy to run.
1
Fit Call
Confirm your goals, scope, and the right track for your situation.
2
Evidence collection
Review evidence and signals to pinpoint gaps and priority areas.
3
Workshop
Align on key findings, constraints, and what to prioritise first.
4
Playback
Confirm the pack, next steps, and a practical plan to move forward.
Duration and evidence approach
Each track can run two ways depending on how evidence is collected.
Track |
You provide evidence |
Monit extracts (ServiceNow only) |
|---|---|---|
Track 1 – Intent Snapshot |
5 days |
7 days |
Track 2: Health Check |
5 days |
7 days |
ServiceNow edition (optional)
If you’re on ServiceNow, Monit can extract evidence from analytics and configuration signals to reduce client effort and strengthen the diagnosis
Track 1: Intent Snapshot
Turn demand signals into a confident pilot starting point, with three build-ready Core Journeys and the guardrails to launch without guesswork.
Best for:
- Launching a new Virtual Agent pilot
- Cutting through a long wishlist to choose the first journeys
- Aligning stakeholders on scope and measures
What you get:
- Ranked intent shortlist (top intent families + friction)
- Three selected Core Journeys (volume, effort, feasibility)
- Conversation blueprints (off-ramps + required data)
- Readiness checkpoints (first three journeys)
- Pilot scoreboard (measures + definitions)
- Launch sequence (30-60-90)
Track 2: Virtual Agent Health Check
Diagnose why trust and adoption stalled, then prioritise what to fix before expanding capability.
Best for:
- Virtual Agent is live, but adoption is low or inconsistent
- High fallbacks or reversion, and users don’t trust the answers
- Handoffs, knowledge, or automation feel unreliable
What you get:
- Capability score across five layers (Answer, Guide, Automate, Escalate, Anticipate)
- Evidence-led trust diagnosis (where and why conversations break)
- Prioritised trust-first roadmap (stabilise quality before expanding)
- Governance loop (what to review, how often, and who owns it)
- Optional: advanced readiness (automation and proactive messaging), gated by trust
