To clarify, I wasn't criticizing your approach or product, more responding to the people dismissing the problem you are solving.
Regarding my experience, I have done a fair amount of work in the contact center space with long calls. I used statistical Bayesian approaches which I found to be much more resilient especially on long documents than embeddings/transformers. It also provided a joint modeling foundation for classification with much lower label requirements than BERT or traditional ML.
