How is Altor different from a docs chatbot?

Docs chatbots answer 'how does this work?' from your knowledge base. Altor answers 'why is this broken for this customer right now?' by querying their actual API logs, checking your bug tracker, and verifying their billing status — across 6+ systems in under 2 minutes.

How is Altor different from our support platform?

Pylon, Plain, Zendesk — they route and manage tickets. Altor investigates them. We plug into your existing support tool as the investigation layer. You keep your workflows, we add the diagnosis.

Will Altor take actions without asking?

Not by default. Altor starts as a read-only investigator — it surfaces a diagnosis for your team to review. You control which action types graduate to auto-approval. Destructive actions are never automated.

What if our stack isn't listed?

If an API exists for your system, we can integrate it. The architecture composes tools — it doesn't hardcode connectors. We've yet to encounter a B2B stack we can't connect to.

What does Altor pricing look like?

Usage-based — you pay per investigation, not per seat. Pricing is quoted in USD ($) with no minimum commitment. We'll scope pricing during the demo based on your ticket volume and systems.

Escalation Path

An escalation path defines who should handle a support issue when the frontline team cannot resolve it, and in what order the handoff should happen. In B2B technical support, a clear escalation path prevents tickets from bouncing randomly between support, product, and engineering.

Why it matters for B2B support

Escalation paths break down when nobody knows whether the blocker is billing, a product bug, a usage issue, or an infrastructure incident. Without an early diagnosis, the path becomes guesswork and the customer waits while teams redirect the case internally.

How Altor helps

Altor clarifies the escalation path by identifying likely root cause first. That lets teams escalate to the right owner once, with evidence, instead of spreading the same ticket across multiple channels.

FAQ

What makes an escalation path effective?

Clear ownership rules, a fast diagnosis step, and a defined expectation for what information must accompany the handoff.

Why do escalation paths fail?

Because teams escalate before they understand the issue. That sends tickets to the wrong owner and forces extra internal back-and-forth.
