AI-Agent SLA and Credit Schedule

Use When

• The proposal must commit to an SLA that is enforceable against the agent's operational reality (not just platform uptime).
• The buyer's procurement, legal, or operations team requires service credits tied to the agent's performance.
• The bid is in a regulated vertical (financial services, public sector, healthcare, insurance) where SLO commitments are mandatory.
• The competitive set includes vendors who promise "99.9 % uptime" as if the agent were a database.
• The MSA must distinguish platform availability from agent task-success, intervention-rate, and time-to-resolve.

Do Not Use When

• The engagement is non-agent SaaS (use the SaaS SLA section of saas-msa-dpa-sla-template-language).
• The engagement is a fixed-fee consulting study with no operational agent.
