Catch churn before it bites.

Alex monitors usage signals, sentiment, and relationship health continuously — surfaces at-risk accounts weeks before renewal, with a recovery playbook ready.

The problem

Churn signals build for weeks before anyone notices.

You’re not preventing churn — you’re receiving it.

Champion goes silent. Logins drop. Sentiment turns. By the time the renewal email goes out, the customer’s often already decided. You’re not preventing churn — you’re receiving it. The signals were there; nobody was watching.

  • Reactive renewal motion
    When churn surfaces only at renewal, it's often too late to recover the relationship.
  • Signals scattered across systems
    Usage data in product DB, sentiment in tickets, contact changes in CRM. No one's correlating them.
  • No standardised health score
    Without a continuous health rollup, prioritisation falls to gut feel. Wrong accounts get attention.
  • Surprise churn = lost ARR
    Each surprise churn = wasted CS time + lost ARR + damaged trust with finance forecasting.
The solution

Alex monitors every account continuously — flags risk, proposes recovery.

Usage + sentiment + contact + product signals correlated into one health score, refreshed daily.

  1. 01
    Step 1

    Ingest signals

    Usage data, ticket sentiment, CRM activity, contact changes, billing patterns — Alex reads them all.

  2. 02
    Step 2

    Score continuously

    Per-account health score updated daily. Red flags surface in real time, not at quarterly review.

  3. 03
    Step 3

    Flag the at-risk

    Accounts crossing risk thresholds surface to your CSM team with the specific signal that triggered.

  4. 04
    Step 4

    Propose recovery

    Alex drafts a recovery touchpoint: which contact to reach, what angle, what evidence to bring.

FAQ

Common questions

What signals does Alex actually monitor?
Usage telemetry (logins, feature engagement, seat utilisation), ticket sentiment + volume, CRM contact health (champion stability, sponsor changes), product engagement, billing patterns, and any custom signals you can pipe via webhook.
How is the health score calculated?
Weighted multi-signal model that learns from your actual churn outcomes. Initial weights are sensible defaults; over time Alex tunes weights per your data.
What does "propose recovery" look like?
When an account crosses risk threshold, Alex drafts a specific touch — which contact to reach, what angle, what evidence (usage data, recent feedback). Your CSM approves + sends, or escalates.
Can Alex auto-execute recovery touches?
Default to suggest mode — Alex drafts, CSM approves. For lower-risk recovery (e.g., "send a check-in to a healthy-trending account"), you can promote to autopilot.
How does this work with my existing CS tools?
Alex reads from your CRM + helpdesk + product telemetry sources via native + webhook integrations. Doesn't replace your CS platform; augments it with continuous monitoring + recovery drafting.

Stop receiving churn. Start preventing it.

Alex monitors every account continuously, surfaces risk early, drafts the recovery play — your CSMs have time to actually save the relationship.
