    Hi there, 2I completely understand if not Intro 3I would be most grateful Best, Morgan Adding a bit more context so this is not just a random connect request. We work with SaaS teams that are dealing with trial activation, expansion revenue, and churn prevention. The thing we built is a workflow that flags accounts before usage drops turn into churn, and a team at roughly your stage used it to recover 18 points of at-risk renewal pipeline. Our approach leverages a configurable operating model for scalable execution across teams, with a modular framework that helps stakeholders operationalize measurable outcomes. In simpler terms, it is supposed to make the work less manual.
