Quality

Maven Quality is a measurement of Maven’s confidence in its own answer. There are three categories of quality:

Good: Maven’s self-assessment is that the answer was both correct and of high quality
Needs Improvement: Maven could not confidently answer the question for one of the reasons below, or because the end user gave the interaction a thumbs down:
- Missing knowledge
- Missing action
- Missing user information
- Needs user clarification
- Unsupported format
- Unsupported user behavior
- Interrupted
Ineligible: Ineligible indicates one of two quality determinations below:
- Maven was unable to make a quality determination and thus could not generate a “needs improvement” category
- Maven ranked the quality as Good, but an end user marked the conversations as a “thumbs down.”

Maven Quality takes the following signals into account:

Automatic self grading: Maven has a self-grading mechanism that determines how confident it is based on how much relevant information it has in knowledge and actions
Automatic grading against human responses: where human agent responses are available they can be compared to Maven’s own response
Human feedback: user provided thumbs up and down feedback serves is a strong signal of quality
