​Do founders care about testing AI support agents before they can issue refunds or credits?

I’m doing customer discovery for a B2B idea and would appreciate blunt founder/operator feedback.

The problem I’m looking at:

More companies are adding AI support agents that do more than answer questions. They may eventually issue refunds, apply credits, escalate tickets, close cases, or handle billing/verification workflows.

My question:

If you ran a SaaS, ecommerce, marketplace, or subscription business, would you want a pre-deployment test/assurance report before letting an AI agent take those actions?

The report would use synthetic scenarios only and look for things like:

– wrong refund or credit amount

– duplicate refund / duplicate credit

– customer trapped in a bot loop

– missing human fallback

– privacy or verification mistakes

– bad escalation / cold handoff

– case closed before the issue is actually resolved

– repeat-contact risk

Would this be a real pain, or is it too early / something teams would just handle with manual QA?

Who inside a company would care most: founder, support ops, CX, product, risk/compliance, or engineering?
