service level
Quality of delivery
Service level is a measure of performance against a standard, especially in business contexts.
A company might promise 99.9% uptime or next-day delivery as its service level.
Service level agreements (SLAs) formalize these commitments between providers and customers: The contract specifies service levels for response time and resolution.
Falling short of service levels typically triggers penalties or credits.
