Scripts

1. health_score_calculator.py

Purpose: Multi-dimensional customer health scoring with trend analysis and segment-aware benchmarking.

Dimensions and Weights:

Dimension	Weight	Metrics
Usage	30%	Login frequency, feature adoption, DAU/MAU ratio
Engagement	25%	Support ticket volume, meeting attendance, NPS/CSAT
Support	20%	Open tickets, escalation rate, avg resolution time
Relationship	25%	Executive sponsor engagement, multi-threading depth, renewal sentiment

Classification:

• Green (75-100): Healthy -- customer achieving value
• Yellow (50-74): Needs attention -- monitor closely
• Red (0-49): At risk -- immediate intervention required

Usage:

python scripts/health_score_calculator.py customer_data.json
python scripts/health_score_calculator.py customer_data.json --format json

2. churn_risk_analyzer.py

Purpose: Identify at-risk accounts with behavioral signal detection and tier-based intervention recommendations.

Risk Signal Weights:

Signal Category	Weight	Indicators
Usage Decline	30%	Login trend, feature adoption change, DAU/MAU change
Engagement Drop	25%	Meeting cancellations, response time, NPS change
Support Issues	20%	Open escalations, unresolved critical, satisfaction trend
Relationship Signals	15%	Champion left, sponsor change, competitor mentions
Commercial Factors	10%	Contract type, pricing complaints, budget cuts

Risk Tiers:

• Critical (80-100): Immediate executive escalation
• High (60-79): Urgent CSM intervention
• Medium (40-59): Proactive outreach
• Low (0-39): Standard monitoring

Usage:

python scripts/churn_risk_analyzer.py customer_data.json
python scripts/churn_risk_analyzer.py customer_data.json --format json

3. expansion_opportunity_scorer.py

Purpose: Identify upsell, cross-sell, and expansion opportunities with revenue estimation and priority ranking.

Best Practices

1. Score regularly: Run health scoring weekly for Enterprise, bi-weekly for Mid-Market, monthly for SMB
2. Act on trends, not snapshots: A declining Green is more urgent than a stable Yellow
3. Combine signals: Use all three scripts together for a complete customer picture
4. Calibrate thresholds: Adjust segment benchmarks based on your product and industry
5. Document interventions: Track what actions you took and outcomes for playbook refinement
6. Prepare with data: Run scripts before every QBR and executive meeting

---

Limitations

• No real-time data: Scripts analyze point-in-time snapshots from JSON input files
• No CRM integration: Data must be exported manually from your CRM/CS platform
• Deterministic only: No predictive ML -- scoring is algorithmic based on weighted signals
• Threshold tuning: Default thresholds are industry-standard but may need calibration for your business
• Revenue estimates: Expansion revenue estimates are approximations based on usage patterns
