Crypto exchange · 6-15 people · 6,500 tickets/mo · very slow AHT · base case
Crypto exchange support team: 7 agents for 6,500 tickets/month
Crypto exchange support carries KYC/AML weight and irreversible transactions, so automation stops where compliance begins.
Verdict: Worth buying
- 0.4-month payback and 8.0x first-year return on a 1724/month platform fee.
- Headcount spans 3-6 agents across your industry's handle-time range. Measure your real AHT for two weeks before you budget - the band is usually wider than anyone expects.
- A 8.0x return means a large share of your support cost was avoidable labour, not overhead. Re-check that handle time and loaded rate are right - if either is overstated the return collapses.

These figures assume 6,500 tickets/mo. Leave your email and a person replies within one business day with the same evaluation for your actual ticket count and AHT — free, and fine to ignore if it is not useful.
