The Agentic Benchmark for CRM evaluates accuracy, cost, speed, trust and safety, and environmental sustainability. Stand up a sandbox that mirrors production and run agents through end-to-end scenarios with synthetic-but-realistic data. Tighten OAuth and third-party risk controls before expanding agent privileges
