This map shows category relationships from customer conversations through call tracking and speech analytics into conversation intelligence and call intelligence.

  • - Defines the category hierarchy from raw calls to operational intelligence.
  • - Clarifies boundaries between adjacent tooling classes.
  • - Positions VOCAL within the call intelligence layer.

2. Technology Stack Diagram

Audio -> Transcription -> NLP -> Signals -> KPIs -> Insights

The core stack converts unstructured conversation audio into measurable business outputs.

  • - Audio is converted to timestamped transcript artifacts.
  • - NLP extracts intent, sentiment, objections, and urgency.
  • - Signal outputs are transformed into KPI and insight layers.
