    • Whisper coaching — supervisor talks to agent without caller hearing
    • Barge-in for live escalations
    • Real-time wallboard: queue depth, longest wait, abandonment rate
    • Per-agent analytics: handle time, calls per hour, login time
    • Compliant call recording with PCI pause-resume
