Inherited pricing

This capability inherits the Customer Success Manager'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
Health Scoring answers a question CSMs ask all week and rarely answer the same way twice: which accounts are actually healthy, and why. On a stretched book, health is judged by gut feel and recent contact, so quiet risk hides and attention lands unevenly. This capability is for mid-market customer success teams who need one consistent, explainable read on every account. The outcome is full coverage: each account carries a current health score with the reasoning behind it, so the team prioritizes on evidence instead of recency. Here is how it works. The capability pulls signals, weights them by segment, scores each account, documents the reasoning, and reports. It runs inside your product analytics, CRM, CS platform, and support systems, and it combines usage telemetry, ticket volume, CSAT scores, engagement signals, and segment rules into a single score per account. What it produces per account is a health score broken into its component signals, each with the reasoning that moved it, so a CSM can see whether a low score is driven by falling usage, rising tickets, or thinning stakeholder engagement. The decision logic is segmented and explainable: it uses segmented weight rules and signal patterns to produce a score that holds up to scrutiny. It does not force every account through one model. When it meets a novel signal pattern, a segment-conflict case, or a data-quality concern, it routes that account to the CSM lead for calibration rather than publishing a score it cannot defend. Those three conditions, novel pattern, segment conflict, and data-quality concern, are its handoff points. Every score and its reasoning are logged and reviewable, which is what makes the calibration loop work over time. Typical fit is clear. The capability is ready when segment definitions are agreed, the signal inventory is mapped, and data-quality gates are in place. Those gates matter, because a score built on questionable inputs erodes trust fast. On impact, 25 to 35 percent of the role's impact comes from continuous multi-signal health scoring, and the coverage target is 100 percent of accounts carrying an explainable score. Unlike the lifecycle-stage capabilities, this one runs across 100 percent of accounts scored, which is why it underpins renewal-risk and expansion work downstream. The primary measure is health-score coverage, so the team can confirm no account is going unwatched.

When this capability shows up
Patterns where health scoring is part of the launch set, with volume and pricing anchored to each company profile.
Mid-market SaaS with growing book and churn pressure
SaaS · 120-300
150 / mo
A 200-person B2B SaaS company has 150 managed accounts per CSM after two growth years. Churn creeps up; usage telemetry is rich but unused; CSMs catch risk too late.
Customer Success Manager activates health scoring and renewal-risk signal. Every account gets an explainable score daily; renewal risk surfaces 60-120 days earlier with contributing signals and recommended motion.
Expected outcomes at this volume: gross retention held or improving, renewal-risk lead time 60-120 days, CSM coverage effectively doubled at equal or better health signal.

Subscription business with NRR focus and QBR cadence
Subscriptions · 200-500
250 / mo
A 400-person subscription business has 250 accounts per CSM. Onboarding stalls silently. Expansion signals get missed. QBRs consume a week of CSM time every quarter.
Customer Success Manager activates onboarding progress, health scoring, renewal-risk signal, expansion opportunity, and QBR prep. The CSM team holds the relationship work while the agent holds the monitoring and prep layer.
Expected outcomes: NRR trending up, onboarding time-to-value down 20-35%, QBR prep time cut 40-60%, expansion-signal actionability rising, gross retention stable or better.
Monthly cost
€2.0k–€7.0k

Small services firm with advocacy-led growth
Services · 40-80
60 / mo
A 60-person services firm has 60 accounts per CSM and relies on referrals for 40% of new business. Health signals live in spreadsheets; advocacy asks go out ad hoc and miss timing windows.
Customer Success Manager activates health scoring and advocacy management. Daily explainable scores surface account mood; advocacy requests land at the moment of highest account goodwill with the right reference, case, or review ask.
Expected outcomes at this volume: gross retention held or improving, advocacy activation rate lifted 30-60%, CSM hours returned to strategic account work, every advocacy ask logged with consent trail.

Upper-mid SaaS running an annual QBR program at scale
SaaS · 400-800
400 / mo
A 700-person B2B SaaS company runs 400 accounts per CSM pod across three tiers. QBR season consumes two weeks every quarter; onboarding-stall detection is retroactive; expansion opportunities fall to whoever spots them first.
Customer Success Manager activates all six capabilities. Onboarding milestones auto-flag; health and renewal-risk scores refresh daily with reasoning; expansion signals route with play context; QBR packs assemble review-ready per account tier; advocacy plugs in at health peaks.
Expected outcomes: NRR trending up, onboarding time-to-value down 20-35%, renewal-risk lead time 60-120 days earlier, QBR prep time cut 40-60%, CSM coverage effectively doubled with traceable signal.
