customer-success-manager

name	customer-success-manager
description	Monitors customer health, predicts churn risk, and identifies expansion opportunities using weighted scoring models for SaaS customer success. Use when analyzing customer accounts, reviewing retention metrics, scoring at-risk customers, or when the user mentions churn, customer health scores, upsell opportunities, expansion revenue, retention analysis, or customer analytics. Runs three Python CLI tools to produce deterministic health scores, churn risk tiers, and prioritized expansion recommendations across Enterprise, Mid-Market, and SMB segments.

Customer Success Manager

Production-grade customer success analytics with multi-dimensional health scoring, churn risk prediction, and expansion opportunity identification. Three Python CLI tools provide deterministic, repeatable analysis using standard library only -- no external dependencies, no API calls, no ML models.

Input Requirements

All scripts accept a JSON file as positional input argument. See assets/sample_customer_data.json for complete schema examples and sample data.

Health Score Calculator

Required fields per customer object: customer_id, name, segment, arr, and nested objects usage (login_frequency, feature_adoption, dau_mau_ratio), engagement (support_ticket_volume, meeting_attendance, nps_score, csat_score), support (open_tickets, escalation_rate, avg_resolution_hours), relationship (executive_sponsor_engagement, multi_threading_depth, renewal_sentiment), and previous_period scores for trend analysis.

Churn Risk Analyzer

Required fields per customer object: customer_id, name, segment, arr, contract_end_date, and nested objects usage_decline, engagement_drop, support_issues, relationship_signals, and commercial_factors.

Expansion Opportunity Scorer

Required fields per customer object: customer_id, name, segment, arr, and nested objects contract (licensed_seats, active_seats, plan_tier, available_tiers), product_usage (per-module adoption flags and usage percentages), and departments (current and potential).

---

Output Formats

All scripts support two output formats via the --format flag:

• text (default): Human-readable formatted output for terminal viewing
• json: Machine-readable JSON output for integrations and pipelines

How to Use

Quick Start

# Health scoring
python scripts/health_score_calculator.py assets/sample_customer_data.json
python scripts/health_score_calculator.py assets/sample_customer_data.json --format json

# Churn risk analysis
python scripts/churn_risk_analyzer.py assets/sample_customer_data.json
python scripts/churn_risk_analyzer.py assets/sample_customer_data.json --format json

# Expansion opportunity scoring
python scripts/expansion_opportunity_scorer.py assets/sample_customer_data.json
python scripts/expansion_opportunity_scorer.py assets/sample_customer_data.json --format json

Workflow Integration

# 1. Score customer health across portfolio
python scripts/health_score_calculator.py customer_portfolio.json --format json > health_results.json
# Verify: confirm health_results.json contains the expected number of customer records before continuing

# 2. Identify at-risk accounts
python scripts/churn_risk_analyzer.py customer_portfolio.json --format json > risk_results.json
# Verify: confirm risk_results.json is non-empty and risk tiers are present for each customer

# 3. Find expansion opportunities in healthy accounts
python scripts/expansion_opportunity_scorer.py customer_portfolio.json --format json > expansion_results.json
# Verify: confirm expansion_results.json lists opportunities ranked by priority

# 4. Prepare QBR using templates
# Reference: assets/qbr_template.md

Error handling: If a script exits with an error, check that:

• The input JSON matches the required schema for that script (see Input Requirements above)
• All required fields are present and correctly typed
• Python 3.7+ is being used (python --version)
• Output files from prior steps are non-empty before piping into subsequent steps

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.

Expansion Types:

• Upsell: Upgrade to higher tier or more of existing product
• Cross-sell: Add new product modules
• Expansion: Additional seats or departments

Usage:

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

references/cs-playbooks.md	Intervention playbooks for each risk tier, onboarding, renewal, expansion, and escalation procedures
references/cs-metrics-benchmarks.md	Industry benchmarks for NRR, GRR, churn rates, health scores, expansion rates by segment and industry

Best Practices

1. Combine signals: Use all three scripts together for a complete customer picture
2. Act on trends, not snapshots: A declining Green is more urgent than a stable Yellow
3. Calibrate thresholds: Adjust segment benchmarks based on your product and industry per references/health-scoring-framework.md
4. Prepare with data: Run scripts before every QBR and executive meeting; reference references/cs-playbooks.md for intervention guidance

---

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
