The SLA Reality Check

Enter your team size, coverage hours, and ticket volume alongside your SLA targets by severity tier. This checks whether those targets are realistically achievable given what's actually covering them — not just whether they sound reasonable on paper.

~4 min to complete 4 severity tiers

Team & Coverage

Roughly how many people are covering support, and during what hours?

Business hours (~8hrs/day, weekdays) Extended hours (~12–16hrs/day) 24/7 coverage

Targets by Severity Tier

Roughly what share of your monthly volume falls in each tier, your response-time target, and — if you track it — your actual average.

Fill in team size, ticket volume, and a coverage window before calculating.

Structure Shelf

If your targets need a real foundation, not just a number someone picked, The Escalation Framework defines severity tiers, decision trees, and SLA-linked protocols built to hold up under real volume.
