B2B SaaS help desk prioritizes cost predictability for ticket tagging

A B2B SaaS help desk architecture prioritizes per-tenant cost predictability for ticket tagging over raw accuracy. The system requires that each tag be associated with a tenant and a cost, necessitating an append-only ledger for usage records to avoid double-charging and ensure accurate billing. For tagging, an embeddings classifier is recommended for its cost predictability and ability to leverage existing labeled data, while a zero-shot LLM is suggested for covering less common tags or new tenants.

    Per-Tenant Cost Decides It: Embeddings, Zero-Shot LLM, or Rerank for Ticket Tagging

    <p>Pick the embeddings classifier when support ticket tagging has to show up as a per-tenant cost line, keep a zero-shot LLM for the tail your labels don't cover, and treat rerank as a retrieval component rather than a tagging method. Fine-tuning is usually not the missing piece …
