Intermediate

Standardize triage fields and weekly owner actions.

Advanced

Compare signal quality against actual renewal and escalation outcomes.

Operating Metrics

Quality: percent of risk updates with dated evidence and confidence level
Cycle time: median hours from signal detection to named owner action
Human review: percent of severity changes reviewed by a manager before escalation

Rollout Checklist

Define standard risk drivers and severity labels.
Agree which signals require manager review.
Pilot weekly triage on top accounts.
Audit false positives and missed risks monthly.

Sample Account Pack

Northstar Clinics

Fictional customer Atlas Health lost its champion, usage dropped 18%, and support tickets mention delayed admin responses.

Use this fictional sample account pack for workshops, screenshots, and demos. Do not replace it with real customer data unless the data stays inside approved company tools.

Workshop Exercise

Ask participants to separate evidence from assumptions, then choose the first customer-safe recovery action.

Human Review Gates

Manager approves any move to red or executive escalation.
Support validates severity and customer impact of tickets.
CSM verifies relationship context before customer-facing language.

Filled Fictional Example

Risk Triage Brief Pack

Atlas Health is not yet red, but a champion departure, uneven manager adoption, and an open permissions escalation create enough evidence for a manager-reviewed risk call plan.
