Renewal risk review across the whole customer book
For: Head of customer success or renewals manager preparing the quarter's renewal plan
The pain today
Health scores are a colour in a dashboard. The real signals sit in tickets, call notes and emails that no manager has time to read for every account, so risk is noticed at the cancellation notice.
The ask
“For every account renewing next quarter, read the connected tickets, call notes and success plans. Tell me which accounts show real risk, what the evidence is in the customer's own words, and where the notes disagree with the health score.”
Plain words, as you would say it to a colleague. Edit it to fit your case before you send it.
What you attach or connect
- Customer records with renewal dates and health scores
- Tickets per account
- Call notes and transcripts
- Success plans and usage summaries
The unit of work
One worker task per one account with its recent history.
Why a swarm fits
Accounts are independent. A worker needs one account's recent notes and tickets, never the whole book, and risk claims can be checked against quoted customer statements.
Not for
One strategic account: its success manager already knows more than any document trail.
The decision tree
5 typed decisions, each with an action for every answer
At fixed moments in a run, the engine puts one narrow question to a decision model. The decision model never writes text: it answers yes or no with a probability, picks from listed options, or gives a score, about a small slice of the material. The engine then does exactly what this tree says, which is what makes the run auditable. The thresholds are the template's design values, not measured results.
Planner, while planning
Scope checkA choice among options
Before work starts on a unit
Does this account renew in the period asked about, and is there recorded contact in the review window?
Sees only: The account's renewal date and its dated activity list
Why: Silence is reported as unknown, never as healthy.
- Renews in the period, with recent contactthenAccept
- Renews in the period, little or no contactthenMark unresolved
- Renews outside the periodthenSkip this unit
Before workers, before a task runs
Small worker or strong modelYes or no, with a probability
Before a task runs
Is this account's recent history short enough, and in one language, for a small worker to read whole?
Sees only: The account's record count, total length and languages
Why: Large, tangled accounts get a strong reader; the rest of the book stays cheap.
- Yes: 0.60 or higherthenAccept
- Unsure: 0.30 up to 0.60thenEscalate to a strong model
- No: below 0.30thenEscalate to a strong model
After workers, the judge checks
Evidence checkYes or no, with a probability
After a worker answers
Is the quoted sentence from the customer, dated within the window, and does it express the risk the worker named, such as a budget cut or a competing evaluation?
Sees only: The quoted sentence with speaker, date and source record, and the worker's risk label
Why: A risk list built on the success manager's own worries tells the manager nothing new.
- Yes: 0.85 or higherthenAccept
- Unsure: 0.50 up to 0.85thenEscalate to a strong model
- No: below 0.50thenReject and retry
Reconciler, while merging
Conflict checkA choice among options
While reconciling
How does the quoted evidence compare with the recorded health score?
Sees only: The account's verified signals and its health score
Why: The gap between dashboard and documents is the finding, so it is shown, not resolved.
- Evidence and score agreethenAccept
- Score is healthy but evidence shows riskthenMark unresolved
- Score is poor but evidence shows nonethenMark unresolved
Accountable person, before anything is settled
Person decidesYes or no, with a probability
Before anything is reported as settled
Does this account summary point towards a commercial step, such as a discount, a contract change or an executive call?
Sees only: One account's verified summary
Why: The account owner decides the play and any offer.
Accountable: The account owner decides the play and any commercial offer. Notes contain personal data and need access limits.
- Yes: 0.35 or higherthenAsk a person
- Unsure: 0.10 up to 0.35thenAsk a person
- No: below 0.10thenAccept
The fleet: who does what
Model tiers by role, not brands: you choose the models. Strong reasoning models plan and reconcile, small fast models do the wide work, and the judge is a decision model from a different family, so it does not share the workers' blind spots.
Planner
A strong reasoning model defines the risk signals to look for and scopes each account's history to the relevant period.
Decisions here:1. Scope check
Workers
Small fast workers from an open-weight family each read one account and report signals with dated quotes.
Designed for 30 to 600 agents, one worker task per one account with its recent history. Each worker receives only its own unit.
Decisions here:2. Small worker or strong model
Judge, from a different model family
A decision model from a different family checks each risk claim is supported by what the customer actually said.
Decisions here:3. Evidence check
Reconciler
A strong reasoning model orders accounts, contrasts evidence with the health score and marks thin-evidence accounts.
Decisions here:4. Conflict check
Accountable person
The account owner decides the play and any commercial offer. Notes contain personal data and need access limits.
Decisions here:5. Person decides
Checked before anything is accepted
- Each risk signal carries a dated quote and its source record
- Accounts with little recent contact are reported as unknown, not healthy
- Disagreement between notes and health score is shown, not resolved
What comes back
- Accounts at risk with quoted evidence
- Accounts where notes and health score disagree
- Accounts with too little contact to judge
- Recurring risk themes across the book, with cited accounts
What to measure
- Flagged accounts the owner agrees are at risk
- Churned accounts that were not flagged
- Manager hours per book review
- Cost per account reviewed
Names of measures only. No result is claimed for this template.
