# Operations

> Watch it work, audit what it did, step in, and correct it systematically. Four things a support manager needs and most vendors hide.

Running an AI agent in production is a management job, not a configuration job. Four capabilities make it possible.

## The live trace

Open a conversation the agent is handling and watch the turn execute: the router picking an intent, a specialist running, retrieval returning, a tool being called, the composer writing.

<Info>
  **The panel names real components.** The router, the specialists and the composer are genuinely
  separate things with their own tools and their own tests — so what the panel shows is the actual
  call graph, not a progress animation with labels on it. When something goes wrong, the trace is
  where it went wrong.
</Info>

That matters most on the day you have to explain the agent's behaviour to *your* customer. A window into execution can be quoted. An animation cannot.

## The reasoning trace, on purpose

Most vendors hide this. The stated reason is complexity or intellectual property; the practical effect is that you cannot tell why the agent did what it did, and you cannot argue with an invoice built on top of it.

Tied shows it — per turn and per resolution:

* what was retrieved, and how strongly it scored;
* which specialist ran and what it returned;
* every action, with its arguments, its authorization, and the provider's own transaction ID;
* why the composer said what it said;
* if it escalated, **which of the seven grounds fired**, and the evidence that made it fire.

Showing this is only safe because it comes with the receipt.

## The receipt

Every billed resolution carries one, and it is the enforcement mechanism for everything Tied claims about [pricing](/pricing/resolutions).

| The receipt shows | Which lets you check |
| - | - |
| The **transcript reference** | Exactly which conversation this charge came from |
| Which **signal tier** confirmed it, and **which specific corroborator** | Not "verified" — *which* link was opened, *which* system state changed, *which* login succeeded |
| The **class and its discriminator** | The specific trail entry that fixed the price |
| The **orchestration fee** | The fee is the fee you were quoted |
| The **itemised model cost** — model, tokens, rate, total | That the markup really is zero |
| A **one-click dispute** | That disagreeing is cheap |

<Check>
  **One click.** Not an email address, not a support queue, not a form that goes to a team that will
  get back to you. If a receipt does not hold up, saying so should take about as long as noticing.
</Check>

## Taking over

One click moves a live conversation from the agent to you. The agent stops, the context is already there, and you carry on.

<Warning>
  **A human message before a resolution is confirmed means no fee.** Not discounted — zero. Once
  a human sends a message in the thread, the outcome came from the human. Once a resolution is
  confirmed, its fee is locked, and a later message or takeover does not cancel it. See
  [What counts as a resolution](/pricing/resolutions).
</Warning>

That is the incentive Tied deliberately chose. A vendor that could bill on handoff is a vendor paid for giving up, and every incentive quietly bends toward escalating early and often.

## The quality queue

Tied credits you automatically on a negative signal, which means a bad resolution costs us money. The quality queue is how that exposure stays bounded — and it is the most useful hour of your week.

It collects the cases most likely to be wrong:

<Steps>
  <Step title="Resolutions the verifier was unsure about" icon="circle-question-mark">
    Ambiguous signal. Billing already resolved them in your favour; the queue is where you find out
    whether the agent was actually right.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Negative CSAT" icon="thumbs-down">
    Already voided and credited automatically. Still worth reading, because the credit fixes the
    invoice and not the cause.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Auto-credited failures" icon="rotate-ccw">
    Reopens inside the 30-day window, and anything else that voided.
  </Step>
</Steps>

Working an item produces one of three outcomes: the agent was right, the agent was wrong and here is the correct answer, or the knowledge was missing and here it is.

**Every outcome routes into an [evaluation golden set](/agents/evaluation).** That is what turns the queue from an apology desk into a data source — a real failure becomes a permanent regression test rather than a one-off fix.

## Reporting

The performance view reports **confirmed resolutions only**, with escalation and abandonment accounted for explicitly alongside rather than dropped from a denominator.

Because reporting and billing share one definition, the numbers reconcile against your invoice line for line. A resolution rate that cannot be reconciled is worse than no dashboard — it becomes the thing you dispute instead of the thing that builds trust.
