objections

• objection: Will AI make incorrect refunds or violate our policies?
  response: Test playbooks and guardrails against actual policies, retain human escalation, and measure accuracy before expanding.
• objection: We cannot replace our existing helpdesk.
  response: Validate the current helpdesk and store integrations in a scoped pilot; Yuma says it works within existing systems.
• objection: Outcome pricing may hide commitment or overage costs.
  response: Compare the contracted volume, 12-month commitment and billable resolution definition with historical ticket data.
