Login frequency, feature adoption, session depth, activation milestones. - **CRM**: Salesforce, HubSpot. Renewal dates, executive engagement, account ownership. - **Billing**: Stripe, ChartMogul. MRR changes, failed payments, plan changes, payment disputes. - **Support**: Intercom, Zendesk. Ticket volume, escalations, NPS, sentiment. No ETL pipelines required. No SQL queries needed. Connect a source and signals appear, with an explanation for every score. ### Churn Prediction Trace AI cross-references signals across all connected sources to detect churn-risk patterns that no single tool can see alone, and explains why each account is at risk: - Declining login frequency combined with rising support tickets - Failed payments coinciding with feature abandonment - Reduced session depth paired with an approaching renewal date - NPS drops correlated with billing disputes The result: at-risk accounts are surfaced before the renewal call, with the reason and a recommended play, so Customer Success can act early instead of reacting to a cancellation. ### Expansion Signals GainTrace surfaces accounts that are ready to grow: - Hitting usage limits or rate caps - Activating advanced or enterprise-tier features - Adding team members or seats - Increasing API call volume - Deepening integration usage When an account is ready to expand, GainTrace alerts the owner with the context. ### Customer Success Automation When signals cross configured thresholds, automated playbooks fire: - **Rescue playbooks**: CSM alerts, retention plays, executive check-in calls, usage re-engagement. - **Expansion playbooks**: expansion offer triggers, plan-upgrade suggestions, feature-adoption nudges. - **Alert playbooks**: Slack notifications, email digests, CRM task creation. ### Trace AI Trace AI is the always-on agent that scores every account automatically and tells the team who to act on and why. The health score updates whether or not a CSM logs a note, so it does not depend on manual data entry to stay accurate. ## Target Audience ### Primary Users - **Customer Success Managers** who need to proactively retain and expand their book of business - **Heads, Directors, and VPs of Customer Success** who need portfolio-wide health visibility and accurate NRR reporting - **Chief Customer Officers** who need to protect net revenue retention - **CS Operations** who want a platform that runs without a dedicated admin hire ### Company Profile - B2B SaaS companies, mostly mid-market and SMB - Customer Success teams with data scattered across 10+ tools and no shared context - Teams experiencing preventable churn due to lack of cross-signal visibility - Teams that do not have, or do not want, a dedicated CS Ops or admin to run a heavy platform ## Industry Context ### The Problem GainTrace Solves The churn signal is already there, buried across the tools a CS team already pays for. Product analytics shows usage dropping, billing shows a failed payment, support shows escalating tickets, and CRM shows a renewal approaching, but nobody connects these signals because they live in different dashboards. CS teams check 10+ systems to answer one question: which account is slipping? By the time they piece it together, the renewal call is already on the calendar. Most customer success platforms only work once you hire someone to run them, with implementations that can take months to a year. GainTrace is built to deliver value in days, with no dedicated admin. ### Market Data (third-party research) - $1.6 trillion lost to churn annually in SaaS (Recurly Research) - 67% of churn is preventable with early signals (Gainsight) - 5x cheaper to retain than acquire (Harvard Business Review) - 14 days: average warning window before churn (ProfitWell) ### Net Revenue Retention Benchmarks (2026) - Top-quartile B2B SaaS: 120%+ NRR - Median performers: 105-110% NRR - Below 100%: net contraction (revenue shrinking) - Best-in-class expansion motions: 130%+ NRR ## How GainTrace Works (3 Steps) ### Step 1: Connect Your Tools Plug in Salesforce, Stripe, Intercom, and 20+ tools. GainTrace maps every signal into one live customer timeline. No ETL, no SQL, no data engineering required. ### Step 2: Score Health and Churn Risk Trace AI cross-references product usage drops with billing and support signals to score account health and surface churn risk, and explains every score. It detects cross-signal patterns that no single tool can see alone. ### Step 3: Act with Automated Playbooks When risk rises, customer success automation kicks in: CSM alerts, tasks, check-in calls, before the renewal call. Expansion signals trigger upsell playbooks too. ## Frequently Asked Questions ### What is an AI customer health score? An AI customer health score combines product usage, billing, support, and CRM activity into one live, explainable measure of every account. GainTrace updates it continuously, so a CS team sees who is healthy, who is at risk, and who is ready to expand, without building a spreadsheet model. ### How does GainTrace help reduce churn? GainTrace correlates falling usage, rising support tickets, and missed payments to flag at-risk accounts before the renewal call. You get the early warning, the reason, and a recommended play, so Customer Success can step in instead of reacting to a cancellation. ### Do I need a dedicated admin or CS Ops team to run it? No. A CSM or CS leader sets up scores, playbooks, and reports themselves. Trace AI does the heavy lifting, so there is no admin to hire and no year-long rollout. ### How long until we are live? Days, not months. Connect your sources and pre-built health scores and playbooks start scoring your accounts. No professional-services bill. ### Do I have to be on Salesforce? No. Health scoring works standalone and is CRM-agnostic. Connect Salesforce or HubSpot for real-time two-way sync when you want it. ### What are good net revenue retention benchmarks for SaaS in 2026? Top-quartile B2B SaaS companies target 120%+ net revenue retention (NRR) in 2026. Median performers sit around 105-110%, and anything below 100% signals net contraction. GainTrace helps teams protect NRR by catching churn risk early and surfacing expansion plays before the renewal conversation. ### How does GainTrace pricing work and is it live? GainTrace is in invite-only early access. Once you receive an invite, you get a free 7-day trial, no credit card required. Pricing is usage-based, tied to the number of accounts you track.
