The ROI from ACP comes from two places: tickets that are resolved autonomously (so agents never touch them) and tickets that still need a human but arrive pre-classified, prioritized, and pre-summarized (so agents spend less time per ticket). Together, these create compounding savings as your ticket volume grows.
