What this skill does

# 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.

## Capabilities

- **Customer Health Scoring**: Multi-dimensional weighted scoring across usage, engagement, support, and relationship dimensions with Red/Yellow/Green classification
- **Churn Risk Analysis**: Behavioral signal detection with tier-based intervention playbooks and time-to-renewal urgency multipliers
- **Expansion Opportunity Scoring**: Adoption depth analysis, whitespace mapping, and revenue opportunity estimation with effort-vs-impact prioritization
- **Segment-Aware Benchmarking**: Configurable thresholds for Enterprise, Mid-Market, and SMB customer segments
- **Trend Analysis**: Period-over-period comparison to detect improving or declining trajectories

## Input Requirements

All scripts accept a JSON file as positional input argument. See `assets/sample_customer_data.json` for complete examples.

## 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

```bash
# 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

```bash
# 1. Score customer health across portfolio
python scripts/health_score_calculator.py customer_portfolio.json --format json > health_results.json

# 2. Identify at-risk accounts
python scripts/churn_risk_analyzer.py customer_portfolio.json --format json > risk_results.json

# 3. Find expansion opportunities in healthy accounts
python scripts/expansion_opportunity_scorer.py customer_portfolio.json --format json > expansion_results.json

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

## 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

**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 |
