customer-success-manager
// Monitors customer health, predicts churn risk, and identifies expansion opportunities using weighted scoring models for SaaS customer success
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.

Input Requirements
All scripts accept a JSON file as positional input argument. See assets/sample_customer_data.json for complete schema examples and sample data.
Health Score Calculator
Required fields per customer object: customer_id, name, segment, arr, and nested objects usage (login_frequency, feature_adoption, dau_mau_ratio), engagement (support_ticket_volume, meeting_attendance, nps_score, csat_score), support (open_tickets, escalation_rate, avg_resolution_hours), relationship (executive_sponsor_engagement, multi_threading_depth, renewal_sentiment), and previous_period scores for trend analysis.
Churn Risk Analyzer
Required fields per customer object: customer_id, name, segment, arr, contract_end_date, and nested objects usage_decline, engagement_drop, support_issues, relationship_signals, and commercial_factors.
Expansion Opportunity Scorer
Required fields per customer object: customer_id, name, segment, arr, and nested objects contract (licensed_seats, active_seats, plan_tier, available_tiers), product_usage (per-module adoption flags and usage percentages), and departments (current and potential).
Output Formats
All scripts support two output formats via the --format flag:
text(default): Human-readable formatted output for terminal viewingjson: Machine-readable JSON output for integrations and pipelines
How to Use
Quick Start
# 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
# 1. Score customer health across portfolio
python scripts/health_score_calculator.py customer_portfolio.json --format json > health_results.json
# Verify: confirm health_results.json contains the expected number of customer records before continuing
# 2. Identify at-risk accounts
python scripts/churn_risk_analyzer.py customer_portfolio.json --format json > risk_results.json
# Verify: confirm risk_results.json is non-empty and risk tiers are present for each customer
# 3. Find expansion opportunities in healthy accounts
python scripts/expansion_opportunity_scorer.py customer_portfolio.json --format json > expansion_results.json
# Verify: confirm expansion_results.json lists opportunities ranked by priority
# 4. Prepare QBR using templates
# Reference: assets/qbr_template.md
Error handling: If a script exits with an error, check that:
- The input JSON matches the required schema for that script (see Input Requirements above)
- All required fields are present and correctly typed
- Python 3.7+ is being used (
python --version) - Output files from prior steps are non-empty before piping into subsequent steps
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
Usage:
python scripts/health_score_calculator.py customer_data.json
python scripts/health_score_calculator.py customer_data.json --format json
2. churn_risk_analyzer.py
Purpose: Identify at-risk accounts with behavioral signal detection and tier-based intervention recommendations.
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 |
| Commercial Factors | 10% | Contract type, pricing complaints, budget cuts |
Risk Tiers:
- Critical (80-100): Immediate executive escalation
- High (60-79): Urgent CSM intervention
- Medium (40-59): Proactive outreach
- Low (0-39): Standard monitoring
Usage:
python scripts/churn_risk_analyzer.py customer_data.json
python scripts/churn_risk_analyzer.py customer_data.json --format json
3. expansion_opportunity_scorer.py
Purpose: Identify upsell, cross-sell, and expansion opportunities with revenue estimation and priority ranking.
Expansion Types:
- Upsell: Upgrade to higher tier or more of existing product
- Cross-sell: Add new product modules
- Expansion: Additional seats or departments
Usage:
python scripts/expansion_opportunity_scorer.py customer_data.json
python scripts/expansion_opportunity_scorer.py customer_data.json --format json

Best Practices
- Combine signals: Use all three scripts together for a complete customer picture
- Act on trends, not snapshots: A declining Green is more urgent than a stable Yellow
- Calibrate thresholds: Adjust segment benchmarks based on your product and industry per
references/health-scoring-framework.md - Prepare with data: Run scripts before every QBR and executive meeting; reference
references/cs-playbooks.mdfor intervention guidance
Limitations
- No real-time data: Scripts analyze point-in-time snapshots from JSON input files
- No CRM integration: Data must be exported manually from your CRM/CS platform
- Deterministic only: No predictive ML -- scoring is algorithmic based on weighted signals
- Threshold tuning: Default thresholds are industry-standard but may need calibration for your business
- Revenue estimates: Expansion revenue estimates are approximations based on usage patterns
