🧮 Formula Metrics

You can now create Formula metrics that combine your existing metrics into composite scores and rules — no code required.

Formula metrics builder showing inline metric templating

What you can do:

  • Weighted scores(Empathy * 0.4) + (Clarity * 0.3) + (Resolution * 0.3)
  • Pass/fail gatesCompliance AND Greeting
  • Custom benchmarks(CSAT + NPS) / 2
  • ComparisonsSentiment == "Positive" AND Empathy > 3

How it works:

  1. Create a new metric in your Metric Library and select the Formula calc type
  2. Build your formula using the inline builder — start typing to search and insert metrics
  3. Formulas are evaluated automatically during call analysis

Under the hood:

  • Dependency-aware evaluation — Source metrics are always computed before formulas that reference them
  • Deletion protection — Metrics used in formulas cannot be deleted until the formula is updated
  • Cycle detection — Circular dependencies are caught at creation time
  • Type safety — Math operators only accept numeric metrics; logical operators only accept boolean and classification metrics
