Churn Prevention Scorecard
A scorecard for identifying at-risk accounts and taking proactive action to prevent churn.
Risk Scoring Model
Score each account monthly across these five dimensions. Each dimension is scored 1-5, where 1 indicates high risk and 5 indicates healthy.
| Dimension | Weight | What to Measure |
|---|---|---|
| Product Usage | 25% | Login frequency, feature adoption, active users vs. licensed seats |
| Engagement | 20% | Response time to CSM outreach, meeting attendance, support ticket sentiment |
| Health Indicators | 20% | NPS/CSAT score, support ticket volume trend, escalation history |
| Business Fit | 15% | Are they still in your ICP? Has their team or strategy changed? |
| Contract Signals | 20% | Days until renewal, payment history, expansion conversations |
