Seen by the customer · App
From the record, not a run: what would reach them, on App, Web, WhatsApp, USSD-assisted.
What happened
A subscriber needs affordable everyday AI in a familiar language.

What it reads
Checks before anything is sent
Identity, age, price, allowance, provider scope and consent pass.
Every option considered, including doing nothing
Doing nothing is one of the outcomes, and it is recorded with its reason. The options are the record's own; a run decides between them.

Modelled
The mechanism that could produce the result, stated; the figure is measured in the pilot.
Observed
Measured in a pilot’s validate stage, on your systems, against a comparison agreed first.
Randomised holdout where feasible; intent-to-treat primary view; pre-declared denominator; guardrails for complaints, margin and opt-out
Measured on: Eligible population; treatment rate; conversion; incremental revenue; ARPU; churn; contact rate; margin; opt-out; decision latency
The result wanted.
Incremental revenue or retention; lower contact waste; improved conversion with margin guardrails
The mechanism that could produce it.
Ingest → qualify → score → apply limits/consent → assign control → execute approved action → capture delivery and business outcome → monitor/retrain
The records kept to show it.
Decision log; eligibility snapshot; price/order response; delivery receipt; control assignment; revenue/outcome ledger
The cost, and the ways it can go wrong.
Costs: Setup fee + annual product subscription; optional managed execution fee; optional verified-outcome fee with agreed baseline
If it fails: Fail closed on eligibility/consent/price; queue retryable events; do not duplicate orders; route exception to campaign operations
The measure that shows it helped.
Randomised holdout where feasible; intent-to-treat primary view; pre-declared denominator; guardrails for complaints, margin and opt-out
Measured on: Eligible population; treatment rate; conversion; incremental revenue; ARPU; churn; contact rate; margin; opt-out; decision latency

The business side
| Step | What the customer experiences | What the operator does |
|---|---|---|
| The momentThe moment that started it. | A subscriber needs affordable everyday AI in a familiar language. | Reads age and identity checks, balance and charging eligibility, language preference, existing entitlements. |
| The decisionThe decision to be made. | The customer's screen is unchanged. | Selects the suitable AI package, language and governed inference route. |
| The safeguardsThe conditions that stop it. | Still unchanged: the action waits until every check has passed. | Identity, age, price, allowance, provider scope and consent pass. |
| The actionThe action that reaches the customer. | Quote, confirm, charge, entitle and open the operator-branded assistant. Reaches them on App, Web, WhatsApp, USSD-assisted. | Recommends. The system that holds the right confirms, charges or provisions. |
| When it goes wrongThe failure, and the recovery. | The charge is declined at the billing system after the customer has confirmed. | No entitlement is granted, the customer is told plainly what happened, and the assistant does not open until charging confirms. |
| The resultThe change it made. | What changed for them is what is counted; nothing else is claimed. | Subscription, tier upgrade and consumed retail credits. |
| The proofThe proof anyone can check. | Can be answered for, later, from the record. | Quote, consent, OCS charge, entitlement, provider route and usage receipt. |
Operator systems remain authoritative. HeuriTel reads these to propose an action; it does not decide on their behalf.
What goes wrong
The charge is declined at the billing system after the customer has confirmed.
What happens then
No entitlement is granted, the customer is told plainly what happened, and the assistant does not open until charging confirms.
A package, a price, a confirmation and a receipt, with the operator's charging system deciding and the assistant opening only when the entitlement exists.
the provider routing and the controls behind the assistant
