A developer describes their voice-agent eval setup: 15 metrics including task completion, tool-call success, latency, and several LLM judges — all green — yet support keeps forwarding complaints from calls that look fine by those numbers.

Manually listening to calls revealed real failure modes no metric covered: the agent repeating itself after long pauses, and a confusing way of offering appointment times. The poster asks how others discover failure modes before metrics exist for them — whether people cluster failed calls or audit batches.
