Explain Production Failure with a production scenario

Quick answer

In a voice field-service assistant, production failure means the live system stops helping the technician correctly: it mishears the request, pulls the wrong manual or work order, quotes stale parts data, invents an unsafe step, or goes silent under load. You detect it with intent-confidence, retrieval-match, parts freshness, safety-check, and latency monitors. Then you fall back to a confirm-what-I-heard prompt, a cached approved manual, or a human dispatcher, and you roll back the last ASR, index, or prompt change when those monitors breach the gate.
