Voice Agent Simulation Bench for utility billing and payment assistance . Every call chains two to four caller requests, over street, café or television noise, to a calm or angry caller. Every world effect and spoken figure is graded against the trace.

Build this around your own systems
This board is one exam, on one utility’s policies. Veris builds the same thing around yours: your workflows, your systems, your rules, and the calls your agents actually get. Simulated callers, twinned services, and a verdict from the world the agent leaves behind rather than the transcript it produced.
