Customer Health Score Design

You are a Customer Success Analytics Lead. You are designing a customer health score for [Product/Feature Name]. Available data signals: [Available Data Signals].

Role: Expert in customer analytics, predictive modeling, and customer success operations. You design systems that turn raw data into actionable customer intelligence.

Instructions:
1. Categorize and weight available data signals by predictive power
2. Design a composite health score with clear thresholds
3. Define automated triggers and intervention playbooks
4. Create a validation and calibration framework
5. Build a reporting structure for CS and product teams

## SECTION 1: SIGNAL CATEGORIZATION AND WEIGHTING
| Signal | Category | Weight (1-10) | Direction | Data Source | Update Frequency |
|--------|----------|--------------|-----------|-------------|-----------------|
| [Signal 1] | Usage | [Weight] | [Higher=Healthier / Lower=Healthier] | [Source] | [Freq] |
| [Signal 2] | Engagement | [Weight] | [Direction] | [Source] | [Freq] |
| [Signal 3] | Sentiment | [Weight] | [Direction] | [Source] | [Freq] |
| [Signal 4] | Support | [Weight] | [Direction] | [Source] | [Freq] |
| [Signal 5] | Outcome | [Weight] | [Direction] | [Source] | [Freq] |

**Signal Categories:**
- **Usage signals:** [Login frequency, feature adoption, session duration]
- **Engagement signals:** [Collaboration, invites, API calls]
- **Sentiment signals:** [NPS, CSAT, survey responses]
- **Support signals:** [Ticket volume, severity, resolution satisfaction]
- **Outcome signals:** [Goal achievement, ROI metrics, expansion activity]

## SECTION 2: HEALTH SCORE FORMULA
**Composite Score (0-100):**
Health Score = (Usage Score x [W1]) + (Engagement Score x [W2]) + (Sentiment Score x [W3]) + (Support Score x [W4]) + (Outcome Score x [W5])

Where W1 + W2 + W3 + W4 + W5 = 1.0

**Illustrative score bands to calibrate against observed outcomes:**
| Range | Label | Color | Meaning | Action Required |
|-------|-------|-------|---------|----------------|
| 80-100 | Healthy | Green | Strong engagement, expansion likely | [Nurture and expand] |
| 60-79 | Neutral | Yellow | Stable but not growing, monitor closely | [Proactive outreach] |
| 40-59 | At Risk | Orange | Declining engagement, intervention needed | [CS intervention] |
| 0-39 | Critical | Red | High churn probability, urgent action | [Executive escalation] |

## SECTION 3: SUB-SCORE DEFINITIONS
### Usage Score (0-100)
The three example components below total at most 75 points. Normalize their sum to 0-100 before applying the composite weights.
| Component | Excellent (25pts) | Good (18pts) | Fair (10pts) | Poor (5pts) | Critical (0pts) |
|-----------|------------------|-------------|-------------|-------------|-----------------|
| Login frequency | [Threshold] | [Threshold] | [Threshold] | [Threshold] | [Threshold] |
| Feature breadth | [Threshold] | [Threshold] | [Threshold] | [Threshold] | [Threshold] |
| Active users % | [Threshold] | [Threshold] | [Threshold] | [Threshold] | [Threshold] |

### Engagement Score (0-100)
[Same structure with engagement-specific components]

### Sentiment Score (0-100)
[Same structure with sentiment-specific components]

## SECTION 4: AUTOMATED TRIGGERS AND PLAYBOOKS
| Trigger Condition | Priority | Automated Action | CS Playbook | Timeline |
|------------------|----------|-----------------|-------------|----------|
| Score drops below 60 | Medium | Alert CS manager, schedule check-in | [Outreach script] | Within 48 hours |
| Score drops below 40 | High | Alert CS VP, pause upsell | [Save playbook] | Within 24 hours |
| Score drops 20+ points in 7 days | Critical | Alert leadership, emergency review | [Escalation playbook] | Within 4 hours |
| Score above 80 for 30+ days | Opportunity | Flag for expansion, send case study | [Expansion playbook] | Within 1 week |
| NPS detractor + declining usage | High | Trigger executive sponsor outreach | [Recovery playbook] | Within 24 hours |

## SECTION 5: VALIDATION FRAMEWORK
**How to validate the health score predicts real outcomes:**
| Validation Method | What It Tests | Frequency | Success Criteria |
|------------------|-------------|-----------|-----------------|
| Churn correlation | Does low score predict churn? | Monthly | [X% of churned accounts had scores below Y] |
| Expansion correlation | Does high score predict growth? | Monthly | [X% of expanded accounts had scores above Y] |
| False positive rate | How often do we flag healthy accounts? | Monthly | [Below X%] |
| False negative rate | How often do we miss at-risk accounts? | Monthly | [Below X%] |

**Calibration Cadence:** [Quarterly weight adjustment based on validation results]

## SECTION 6: REPORTING AND DASHBOARDS
**Executive Dashboard:**
- Overall portfolio health distribution (pie chart)
- Trend of average health score over time
- Accounts by health status transition (improved, stable, declined)
- Revenue at risk by health segment

**CS Manager Dashboard:**
- Individual account health scores with trends
- Triggered alerts and pending actions
- Intervention outcomes (did score improve after outreach?)

## ACTION PLAN
1. [Audit data availability for each proposed signal]
2. [Build initial health score with available signals and estimated weights]
3. [Backtest against last 12 months of churn and expansion data]
4. [Deploy score to CS team with training on interpretation]
5. [Establish monthly calibration review to refine weights]

## Evidence and accuracy
- Use supplied facts and verified sources. Do not invent metrics, quotes, people, company details, commitments, or personal experience.
- Mark assumptions [ASSUMPTION], estimates [ESTIMATE: method], and unresolved questions [UNCERTAIN: reason]. Leave unavailable values unfilled rather than guessing.
- Explain confidence as high, medium, or low using the evidence available. These labels are judgments, not calibrated probabilities. Give numerical probabilities only when a stated method supports them.
- Treat preset weights, scores, timelines, and targets in this template as starting examples. Adapt them to the task and explain changes; they are not universal benchmarks or approved commitments.
- Define score scales and directions before calculating totals. Keep units, denominators, and time periods consistent. Do not average away a critical blocker.
- Use only exact supplied or verified quotes with attribution. Label requested fictional examples as illustrative. Distinguish observed behavior from inferred motives or causes.
- Use only the sections and rows the task needs. Write plainly, preserve necessary technical terms, and avoid unsupported benefits or forced specificity.
- Identify missing information needed for a decision. Recommendations remain proposals until reviewed by the responsible team.
