The Noble Report

A finding you can open, check, and overturn.

Noble analyzes recorded sales calls against your own policy documents and playbooks. Every finding names the document it was evaluated against, the clause it applies, and the language that triggered it.

Nothing appears in a report without evidence behind it. That rule is enforced in the software, not in the marketing.

Sales representative

The rule it breaks
Representatives must not offer discounts, free periods or no-cost pilots without prior written approval from Sales Operations.
A flag citing a document that was not evaluated is rejected before the report is produced.

The problem

Most call review is a sample, an impression, and a spreadsheet.

  1. You see a fraction

    Manual review reaches a small percentage of conversations. Everything you say about the rest is inference, and an examiner is entitled to ask which calls you actually looked at.

  2. Every reviewer applies a different standard

    Two managers listening to the same call reach different conclusions, and neither can show their working. Coaching diverges by desk and by region without anyone deciding that it should.

  3. A score is not a defense

    Tools that return a confidence number give your legal team nothing to stand on. A finding without a citation is an assertion, and it will be treated as one.


Anatomy

What a report contains

One report per call. It opens with the result, not with a dashboard, and every section is built to be read by someone who was not on the call.

  1. Scope and provenance

    Who spoke, when, for how long, which recording, which policy documents were evaluated and at which versions — plus the version of the engine and rule set that produced the result.

  2. Screening result

    The outcome of evaluating the call against your documents, with an enumerated list of what was checked and what was excluded as inapplicable — never a bare count.

  3. Ranked findings

    What the representative did well and what was missing, ordered by significance rather than listed exhaustively. Each finding names the specific behavior that was absent, and carries the quote behind it.

  4. One coaching assignment

    A single micro-skill, the exchange that justifies it, a line the rep could have said instead, and a date it gets re-measured. One, deliberately — five development items is zero development items.

  5. What the buyer said

    Their stated drivers, objections, requirements, constraints and commitments — each one quoted. Noble records what the other party said, and does not infer their motivations or profile them.

  6. Appendix

    Full results, definitions, documents evaluated and excluded, transcript coverage, and the version stamps that make the result reproducible six months from now.

Overall overview

Diagnostic evaluation completed. See dimension findings below for detailed assessment.

Diagnostic dimensions · 3 of 10 shown

CodeDimensionStatusGrounded finding
D2Value articulation Strong The rep tied the platform’s ability to produce “a consistent diagnostic on every single one” call to the buyer’s stated pain that managers coach differently across regions, and tied the policy-upload/compliance-checking capability directly to the buyer’s stated concern that they “mostly take it on faith” that reps use required language.
D4Stakeholder and approval path mapping Gap The buyer stated they would “have to run anything like this past our COO,” but the rep did not follow up to ask what that approval process looks like or when it would occur.
D5Competitive positioning Insufficient evidence No competitor or alternative solution (including current manual process specifics beyond the stated pain) was raised for comparison during the call.
Seven further dimensions are scored in the full report. The complete sample is available under NDA.

An excerpt from a sample in Noble Analytic's own demo account: three of its ten rows. The parties are relabeled; every finding shown is the text the engine produced. The complete sample report is shared as part of an evaluation.

The taxonomy

The ten dimensions are fixed

Calls are assessed against the same ten dimensions every time, with codes and definitions that do not vary by call, by tenant, or by meeting context. Only which of them apply, and how they rank, varies. A taxonomy that changes between calls cannot be trended: two reports would not be measuring the same thing, and no comparison across them would mean anything.


Grounding

Your documents are the rules. Not a generic word list.

Keyword matching is what flags a call for the word “guarantee” when the representative was explaining that something is not guaranteed. Noble evaluates against the language you actually wrote.

What goes in

Your disclosure language, do-not-say lists, master service agreements, product bulletins, discount thresholds and sales playbooks — held in a knowledge base scoped to your organization alone.

ComplianceFlags
BoundaryFlags
PlaybookCoaching observations, never flags
ReferenceContext only

A representative departing from a sales playbook is a coaching observation, not a violation. Mixing the two fills the compliance queue with noise until nobody reads it.

Findings are separated by how certain they are

Presenting an inference and an arithmetic breach as though they carry the same weight is how compliance tooling loses its audience.

  • Arithmetic — A stated threshold was exceeded. Checkable. Safe to route automatically.
  • Presence — Required language was not found. Nearly checkable, and sensitive to transcription quality. The report shows where it should have appeared.
  • Judgment — A possible misleading claim or unauthorized commitment. This is inference. It is marked for review, routed to a person, and does not become a record until someone confirms it.

The part most tools skip

What the report says when it doesn't know.

Any system can produce a confident answer. The question worth asking a vendor is what happens when the evidence isn't there — because that is the case you will meet during onboarding, on a bad recording, and on the day a document hasn't been loaded yet.

Noble is built to report the gap rather than fill it.

No applicable document loaded

The report states that screening was not performed, and says why. It does not report a pass. A silent default here is the single most damaging thing a compliance tool can do.

Some documents evaluated, others missed

The call is marked partially screened and the gaps are enumerated. Three states, not two — because “we found nothing” and “we did not look” are different sentences.

The call doesn't contain enough to judge

A dimension returns insufficient evidence rather than a manufactured score. A short call, or one that never reached pricing, should say so.

A finding has no quote behind it

It does not render. Quotes are verified against the transcript before a report is published, and a report that fails verification is not published at all.

D5 Competitive positioning Insufficient evidence

No competitor or alternative solution — including current manual process specifics beyond the stated pain — was raised for comparison during the call. Taken verbatim from the sample report above.

By role

Four people read this report for four different reasons.

The same analysis serves all of them, because it is built on evidence rather than on a point of view.

Compliance

“Can I defend this in front of an examiner?”

Every flag carries the document, its version and effective date, the clause, and the language that triggered it. Reports are pinned to the policy library as it stood when they ran, so updating a document never silently rewrites history.

Noble screens; it does not audit, and it does not certify a call as compliant. It tells you which conversations warrant your team's attention and why.

Technology

“Where does our conversation data actually go?”

Analysis uses third-party language model infrastructure, and we say so up front rather than letting your security review discover it.

Operations

“What does this take off my team?”

Every recorded conversation is analyzed, not a sample, so review effort shifts from listening to adjudicating an exception queue. On a clean day, the compliance queue produces nothing at all.

Coverage is reported per call, so you can see which conversations were screened, against what, and where analysis could not complete.

Sales leadership

“Will my managers actually use it?”

A manager opens a report rather than a recording, and finds one thing to coach and the exchange that justifies it. Not ten rows of equal weight.

Calls are assessed against a fixed set of dimensions that mean the same thing for every rep and every call, which is what makes movement over time worth reading.

You mentioned the CFO. What will they need to see from us, and when do they usually decide on something like this?

Sales skill drill

When a buyer names an approver, ask three things before moving on: who else signs off, what they need to see, and when they meet. Then play it back to confirm.

Compiled from the call reports above. Nothing is re-scored, and each line opens the call it came from.
