Perfect calibration tracks the diagonal
Auto-close rate is the number a CFO buys on, but it is not the number that keeps the programme safe. The pair to watch is auto-close against QA concurrence: a rising auto-close rate with falling concurrence means the agent is clearing cases a human would not have cleared, and the control band should pull the affected segment back to manual routing before the trend reaches an examination.
The calibration curve is the honesty check. Confidence is only useful if it means something — a stated 75% has to be right about 75% of the time, or the routing threshold that sits on top of it is arbitrary.
Escalation volume is deliberately not minimised. Under-reporting and over-reporting are both penalised, so the target is a stable escalation rate with high precision, not the lowest possible number of referrals.
