This capability inherits the AR Specialist's pricing model. The role's launch fee + monthly retainer + role-level usage cover every capability under the role. Adding this capability to an active deployment does not change the price.

What this capability handles

How it works in detail.

Revenue Recovery targets the quiet leakage that finance teams rarely have time to chase: abandoned flows, stalled deals, and failed-payment retries. This money is technically recoverable, but it slips away because no one is consistently following up on it. The capability is for finance and revenue leaders at companies of 40-500 employees who want stalled revenue pursued systematically rather than written off. The outcome is recovered pipeline and a meaningful share of previously-lost revenue brought back without pulling people off higher-value work. Here is how it works. It detects a loss signal, then prioritizes which stalled or abandoned items are worth pursuing first. It acts by triggering the appropriate follow-up, monitors the response, and routes complex cases to a human owner. It runs inside your CRM, lifecycle tools, commerce platform, and email, and it reads abandonment data, lead or account stage, communication history, and purchase state. For each recovery opportunity it produces a prioritized follow-up action and a tracked outcome, so a stalled flow either re-engages, recovers, or is handed off with its context intact. The decision logic is pattern-aware. It uses revenue-loss signals and timing logic to decide when to follow up and when to escalate, so it presses on genuine opportunities and steps back from situations that need human handling. Exception handling is deliberately cautious: sensitive commercial or complaint-driven cases route to human owners rather than receiving an automated nudge. It hands work to a person when there is a commercial complaint, a legal-sensitive history, or a pattern-flagged high-value risk, so the cases where a wrong message could damage a relationship always reach an owner. Every action is logged and reviewable, so the team can see what was attempted on each opportunity and why. Typical fit depends on having defined recovery use cases and lifecycle data available, which is why it works best in organizations with a mature lifecycle setup. This capability accounts for 15-25% of role volume. Measured on revenue recovered, it delivers a lift in recovered revenue, and in mature lifecycle orgs it converts 10-25% of previously-lost revenue into recovered pipeline. The result is a steady, governed second pass over revenue that would otherwise leak away unnoticed, with sensitive accounts protected by clear escalation.

When this capability shows up

Real-shape scenarios.

Patterns where revenue recovery is part of the launch set, with volume and pricing anchored to each company profile.

  • Subscription business with recovery upside

    Subscriptions · 150-400

    2,000 / mo

    A 300-person subscription business invoices 2,000 customers per month. Failed payments, dunning, and abandoned upgrades all contribute to quiet revenue leakage. The finance team covers the core collections path, but recovery flows get inconsistent attention.

    AR Specialist activates all three capabilities. Collections runs always-on; recovery triggers on pattern-detected leakage; disputes route cleanly. The combined motion captures both the repeat-overdue core and the quiet-leakage tail.

    Expected outcomes: 35-55% faster collections cycle, measurable DSO improvement within 60 days, recovered revenue step-change within the first quarter, cleaner dispute cycle time.

  • Upper-mid subscription SaaS with material leakage tail

    Subscriptions · 300-700

    3,500 / mo

    A 500-person subscription SaaS invoices 3,500 customers per month. Failed payments, abandoned upgrades, and unresolved dunning create material quiet leakage. The AR team covers the top tier of accounts; the mid and long tail get uneven attention.

    AR Specialist activates invoice-collection, revenue-recovery, and dispute-triage across the full book. Collections runs always-on; recovery triggers on pattern-detected leakage in the mid and long tail; disputes route cleanly with policy context attached.

    Expected outcomes: 40-55% faster collections cycle, DSO improvement 4-8 days within 60 days, recovered revenue step-change in the first quarter, dispute cycle time halved, audit trail complete across every actioned invoice.
