The Churn tab and churn risk

The Churn tab (/accounts/[id]/churn) and Churn Risk card (/accounts/[id]) provide Customer Success Managers and leadership with a rigorous framework for detecting early churn signals, managing the offboarding experience, and recording structured learnings when a customer cancels or pauses.

Churn tab activation states

ValueRamp preserves a clean user interface by activating the Churn tab only when an account is actively churning, post-churn, or paused:

1. Active accounts (/accounts/[id]/churn): Navigating directly to the URL on an active customer shows a quiet notification stating "This account isn’t churned or paused — the Churn tab activates when it enters the churn window."
2. Churned and post-churn accounts: The sub-navigation displays the red-badged Churn tab containing eight panels: Churn summary, Goodbye Brief, Churn root cause, Exit capture, Save attempts, Stakeholder transitions, Reactivation watch list, and Offboarding plan.
3. Paused accounts: When a temporary pause is negotiated (e.g., seasonal suspension), the Churn tab tracks pause duration, expiration dates, and reactivation dates.

Core sections of the Churn tab

1. Churn summary

The top panel captures essential churn metadata at a glance:

• Lifecycle phase: Displays CHURN or POST_CHURN.
• Stated reason: The reason reported by the customer, from a fixed list (e.g., pricing, budget_cuts, champion_departure, product_fit, competitor_switch).
• ARR lost: The recurring revenue removed from the active portfolio.
• Risk at churn: The quantitative churn score calculated immediately prior to cancellation.

2. Goodbye Brief & AI root-cause analysis

• Goodbye Brief: An executive summary generated automatically to capture key milestones, account history, and context for post-mortem reviews.
• Churn root cause: An AI-ranked analysis that evaluates telemetry signals, health drop-offs, champion turnover, and communication silence to identify actual drivers that may differ from the stated exit reason.

3. Exit capture & save attempts

• Exit capture: Records structured interview attributes including voluntary vs. involuntary churn, replacement competitors, relationship temperature, and fit ratings.
• Save attempts: Logs every retention offer extended to the client (pause, discount, escalation, re-onboarding, handover, or other). A discount attempt is refused unless the captured primary reason is pricing-related and discount offers are enabled in the workspace's settings.

4. Automated offboarding plan

Upon transitioning to churn, ValueRamp automatically generates an Offboarding Plan:

• Provisions checklists for data exports, security credential revocation, and contractual wrap-up.
• Provides a direct link (Open plan →) to track execution and assign offboarding milestones to team members.

Pre-churn risk monitoring on the Account Overview

CSMs do not wait for churn to act. On the Account Overview page (/accounts/[id]):

• The Churn Risk card displays current predictive risk bands: Low, Medium, High, or Critical.
• The score evaluates five core behavioral dimensions: Comms risk, Health trajectory, Usage decay, Champion stability, and Renewal proximity.
• CSMs can click Compute churn risk to re-score the customer on demand based on latest product and communication data.
