Pass: 

Required Opening Elements (3):

• Agent Name – Any clear self-introduction (e.g., “This is Alex,” “My name is Alex”)

• Brand Name – Earth Echo must be mentioned

• Wellness Support Catch Phrase – “How can I support your wellness goals today?” or similar phrasing

Notes:

• Exact wording is not required

• Accept partial or related terms, such as: “wellness,” “goals,” “wellness goals”

• Any supportive phrasing with the same intent is acceptable

Focus on whether the required opening elements were delivered, either verbatim or slightly adapted without changing the meaning

Mark PASS if ALL of the following are true (allow reasonable flexibility due to transcript limitations):

The call is inbound, and

• The agent delivered the opening at or near the start of the call, and

• The opening reasonably includes all three required elements, even if not captured verbatim in the transcript:

  • Agent Name - Any clear self-introduction (e.g., “My name is Kenneth,” “This is Kenneth”)

  • Brand Name - "Earth Echo" OR

• Any partial, cut, or phonetically similar wording caused by transcription errors, such as:

  • “Earth”

  • “Echo”

  • “Foods”

  • Any brand fragment that clearly indicates the intended brand

• Wellness / Goal-Focused Support Phrase

  • “How can I support your wellness goals?” or similar intent-based phrasing

  • Accept partial or cut phrases, including:

  • “support”

  • “wellness”

  • “goals”

  • “wellness goals”

  • “How can I support you?”

Important Note for EA:

EA relies on transcripts, which are not 100% accurate. If the transcript shows partial words, cut phrases, or incomplete brand names, but the audio clearly indicates the agent delivered the required elements, this should be marked PASS.

Example that should PASS:

“Naturals. My name is Kenneth. How can I support you?”"

Fail: 

Mark FAIL only if ANY of the following apply:

The call is inbound, and

• The opening clearly lacks required elements, even when allowing for transcript errors, including:

• No agent name stated

• No brand reference at all (including partial or phonetic matches)

• No support-, wellness-, or goal-focused language

• No reasonable opening introduction was delivered at the start of the call

Fail should be used only when there is a clear and undeniable miss, not due to transcription cut-offs or word truncation."
