How the model is sized
Four numbers decide the result.
Want to see what actually happens overnight, hour by hour?
The after-hours operating model01Uncovered hours
168 hours in a week minus what your team already covers. Business hours leaves 118 uncovered; extended hours leaves 56.
02A second shift
Every 24/7 seat needs about 4.2 people once rotation, leave and absence are counted. We prorate to your uncovered hours and never go below two people for an overnight rota.
03AI first response
Priced per after-hours contact. Routine requests are resolved; the rest are captured with details and scheduled for the day team.
04Human escalation
Sized only on the urgent share you enter — the contacts that must reach a person immediately.
