The platform transforms raw product telemetry into predictive and prescriptive intelligence for Go-To-Market (GTM) teams. Founded in 2023, our mission is to help B2B SaaS companies understand their customers through actual product usage data, not relationship proxies. ## The Problem We Solve Traditional customer success and revenue operations rely on: - Health scores based on survey responses and relationship strength - Lagging indicators that surface problems too late - Subjective assessments from account managers - CRM data that captures conversations, not behavior This approach misses 80% of the signal. Product telemetry—how customers actually use your software—is the leading indicator of retention and growth. ## Our Solution QuadSci ingests raw product telemetry to predict with precision, 12 months in advance, which customers will churn and where revenue is actually growing. Our AI platform: 1. Ingests billions of telemetry signals from your product 2. Applies quantitative machine learning models trained on your data 3. Delivers predictions directly into your GTM applications 4. Enables your teams to act before problems materialize --- content_type: reference title: Product Overview - How QuadSci Predicts Churn and Growth url: https://quadsci.ai/product/overview category: Product last_updated: 2026-06-10 --- QuadSci is predictive and prescriptive customer intelligence AI based on what customers do in software, not what they say they do. The platform is trained on trillions of telemetry events and enriched by CRM, support, and engagement data to map the customer journey and predict future churn and growth 12 months ahead of a renewal. ## How QuadSci Predicts Churn and Growth ### Read the Behavioral Signals QuadSci reads the signals that precede churn and expansion months before they surface in a renewal conversation: usage decay, shifts in adoption depth, changes in seat activity, and account-level engagement patterns. These aren't health scores built on manual rules. They're model outputs trained on 10 trillion telemetry events, updated continuously as customer behavior evolves. ### From Signal to Motion When QuadSci identifies a risk or an opportunity, revenue teams see which accounts need attention, why the signal fired, and what action is most likely to change the outcome, whether that is a CS intervention, an expansion conversation, or a product adoption play. Intelligence surfaces in the workflows your team already uses, so the signal becomes motion. ### Proven Accuracy, 12 Months Ahead QuadSci delivers 90% predictive accuracy for churn and growth, with signals available up to 12 months in advance of the event. That lead time is the difference between a proactive conversation and a surprise on renewal day, giving CS, sales, and RevOps teams room to act while there's still time. ## How Customers Use QuadSci Revenue and customer success teams use QuadSci to answer the questions that drive their week — which accounts are at risk, where growth is forming, and where to focus finite time. - **Identify churn before it hardens**: CS, RevOps and account teams see which accounts are drifting toward risk months before a renewal conversation starts, with enough lead time to intervene while the outcome is still changeable. - **Surface growth that isn't in the pipeline**: AEs and CS leaders find expansion-ready accounts based on actual adoption depth and trajectory, not activity in the CRM. On average, 15% of ARR is found unpiped. - **Prioritize the book, not just the list**: Revenue leaders get a portfolio-level view of their entire customer base, ranked by risk, ARR, and renewal timing, so team capacity goes to accounts that can actually be saved. - **Ground the forecast in behavior**: Executives, RevOps and CROs replace opinion-driven pipeline reviews with a behavioral ARR forecast that connects to Salesforce, Clari, and Gainsight. - **Connect feature adoption to revenue outcomes**: Product leaders understand which usage patterns correlate with retention and expansion, giving roadmap decisions an evidence base tied to ARR rather than request volume. - **Build campaigns around behavior, not assumptions**: Marketing teams identify which behavioral cohorts are most likely to expand, find lookalike accounts based on the usage profiles of top customers, and build lifecycle programs grounded in how customers actually move through the product. --- content_type: product title: Growth AI url: https://quadsci.ai/product/growth-ai category: Product last_updated: 2026-03-27 --- Growth AI is our predictive intelligence engine for churn prevention and expansion identification. ## Capabilities - **Churn Prediction**: Identify at-risk accounts 12 months before renewal with 94% accuracy - **Growth Detection**: Uncover expansion opportunities with 90% accuracy - **Behavioral Analysis**: Understand which product behaviors indicate health or risk - **Early Warning System**: Get alerts on engagement drops, feature abandonment, and usage pattern changes ## How It Works 1.

Capital was available. Growth was the mandate and the exit finish line seemed just over the horizon. The conditions of today's market are very different. As SBI Growth Advisory notes, more than half of SaaS companies report lower NRR than two years ago. And, according to Crunchbase, new rounds of funding for many SaaS companies are stalling. ## Question 1: Stability vs. Momentum When you look at your installed base over the last 12–18 months, which feels more accurate? - Revenue feels stable, but expansion is uneven and hard to forecast - A small subset of accounts drives most expansion - Growth depends more on timing and relationships than repeatable patterns Insight: If growth only shows up occasionally, stability may be hiding stagnation. ## Question 2: How "Health" Is Defined Internally When teams talk about account health, which signals carry the most weight? - NPS, surveys, and QBR feedback - CRM notes and CSM judgment - Observable product usage patterns tied to outcomes Insight: If health is mostly inferred from sentiment or activity, confidence often drops right when renewal decisions matter most. ## Question 3: Expansion Confidence If you had to commit today, could you confidently answer: Which specific accounts are capable of expanding in the next 6–12 months, and why? - Yes — I can name accounts and explain why with data - I have a general sense, but it's based more on feel than evidence - Honestly, that answer feels unclear right now Insight: If that answer feels fuzzy, prioritization is likely reactive. ## Question 4: Investment Effectiveness Over the last year, where have you invested most heavily? - Improving customer experience and satisfaction - Adding features customers request or talk about - Scaling CS motions to "do more" across the base Insight: Which of those investments measurably changed customer behavior in ways that led to expansion? If behavior didn't change, revenue usually doesn't either. ## Question 5: Signal vs. Noise in Product Usage Do you know which specific behaviors separate expanding accounts from stagnant ones? - Clear, measurable patterns that correlate with expansion - Hypotheses based on intuition or anecdote - A general belief that more usage equals more value Insight: Most SaaS companies have the data, but they don't know how to use it. ## Question 6: Early Warning Capability How early can you see risk or opportunity? - Months before renewal, based on behavior - Late in the cycle, based on sentiment shifts - At renewal time, when options are limited Insight: The later you see it, the more "good enough" feels like control — when it's actually drift. ## Interpreting the Diagnostic If most of your answers point to stability without predictability, sentiment-heavy signals, and unclear expansion criteria — you're likely not in trouble. But you may be stuck. That's the "Good Enough" trap. Behavior doesn't lie. Telemetry is how you see it. --- content_type: contact title: Contact Information url: https://quadsci.ai/contact category: Company last_updated: 2026-03-27 --- Website: https://quadsci.ai Email: contact@quadsci.com Book a Demo: https://quadsci.ai/contact LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/quadsci --- content_type: blog_post title: "QuadSci vs Hook vs Pendo Predict: Which Customer Intelligence Platform Is Right for Your GTM Team?" url: https://quadsci.ai/blog/quadsci-vs-hook-pendo-predict date_published: 2026-06-11 category: Research author: Mike Hess --- A new class of AI platforms is working to close the loop between behavioral data, predictive intelligence, and revenue action. At the surface, QuadSci, Pendo Predict, and Hook.co tell a similar story: use product behavioral data to predict churn and expansion, then surface signals where teams can act. The architectures underneath are different in ways that produce meaningfully different outcomes. ## Capability Comparison | Capability | QuadSci | Pendo Predict | Hook.co | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | 9-18 month prediction window | Yes | No | No | | Published accuracy benchmark | Yes (90%) | No | No | | Full-stack telemetry (UI + API) | Yes | No | No | | 2 years historical data modeling | Yes | No | No | | ARR-aware predictions | Yes | Partial | Yes | | Expansion revenue detection | Yes | Yes | Yes | | Cohort and onboarding intelligence | Yes | Yes | Yes | | Conversational intelligence (AI) | Yes | No | Yes | | Native workflow delivery | Yes | Yes | Yes | | Automated playbook execution | No | Yes | Yes | | External account signals | Yes | No | Yes | | 50+ integrations | Yes | Partial | No | | Independent of analytics platform | Yes | No | Yes | ## The Differences That Matter Prediction window. QuadSci delivers signals 9-18 months in advance of a churn or growth event. Both Pendo Predict and Hook.co operate around the 6-month mark. At 6 months, many interventions that change outcomes have already closed as options. At 9-18 months, the relationship is still fully salvageable. Telemetry depth. Most product analytics platforms capture UI and UX interactions only. QuadSci captures both front-end user interactions and back-end system-to-system API calls, and trains predictions on up to two years of historical behavioral data per customer. A customer whose users rarely log in to the UI but run thousands of API calls daily is not disengaged. A platform that only sees UI events will score that account incorrectly. Accuracy. Neither Pendo Predict nor Hook.co publishes a verified accuracy benchmark. QuadSci publishes 90% predictive accuracy for churn and growth events. ## How Each Platform Delivers Action Pendo Predict delivers intelligence into Salesforce opportunity records and Slack, and triggers in-app guides and email sequences through Orchestrate. Telemetry depth is tied to existing Pendo instrumentation quality. Hook.co takes the most autonomous action model. AI-generated playbooks are built per account from product usage, conversation history, support signals, and external web intelligence, then executed automatically. The tradeoff is visibility and control. QuadSci's action layer centers on Q-Chat, a conversational intelligence agent that lets revenue teams query their customer base in natural language. QuadSci delivers intelligence natively into Salesforce, Slack, Gainsight CS, Salesloft, and Clari, and the MCP Server extends that reach into AI-native workflows. ## Bottom Line All three platforms represent a genuine advance over health-score-era customer success tooling. A 9-18 month window with full-stack behavioral data and a published 90% accuracy benchmark is a different category of capability than a 6-month window built on front-end instrumentation. --- content_type: blog_post title: "What Is Product Telemetry and Why Is It Important for Churn Prediction?" url: https://quadsci.ai/blog/what-is-product-telemetry date_published: 2026-06-12 category: Research author: QuadSci Team --- Most SaaS companies know more about their customers than they realize. The data is already there. The question is whether they are reading it. Product telemetry is the continuous stream of behavioral data generated every time a user interacts with your software. Every login, every feature click, every API call, every workflow completed or abandoned is a data point. Taken together, these data points form a picture of how your customers are actually using your product, not how you think they are using it, and not how they say they are using it. For most of the history of SaaS, this data was collected primarily for engineering purposes. Teams used it to debug issues, monitor system performance, and understand feature adoption at an aggregate level. The idea that the same data could predict whether a customer would renew or expand their contract in 12 months was not yet part of the product conversation. That has changed. And for revenue teams, it changes almost everything about how churn prediction works. ## What Product Telemetry Actually Captures Customer intelligence draws from three distinct signal types, and most organizations are only reading one or two of them. Human-to-Human signals are the conversations, sentiment, and engagement across sales, CS, support, education, and marketing. What your customers say, how they feel, and how often they show up. These signals are real and valuable. The limitation is that they are inconsistent across accounts, dependent on who is in the room, and weighted unevenly by whichever team is reporting them. Human-to-System signals are how your customers actually use your product. Not just whether they logged in, not just which feature flags are on, but the full pattern of behavior inside the application: what they click, what they abandon, where they spend time, which workflows they complete, how their usage evolves over months. This is the layer most product analytics platforms were built to capture, and it tells you what is really happening beyond what customers report in conversation. System-to-System signals are what your product is doing when no human is in the interface. Automated workflows, integrations, observability data, API call volume, data pipeline activity, and backend workflow execution. A customer running thousands of automated processes against your platform daily may show low UI engagement while being one of your most deeply retained accounts. A platform that cannot read this layer will misread that account. The most complete picture of customer health comes from reading all three signal types together, modeled against a historical baseline of what behavioral patterns actually precede churn or expansion in comparable accounts. ## Why Traditional Churn Indicators Fall Short Before telemetry-based prediction, revenue teams relied on a combination of lagging indicators to identify at-risk accounts: NPS scores, support ticket volume, engagement with customer success touchpoints, and the intuition of experienced CSMs who knew their accounts well. Each of these has real value. None of them is a reliable early warning system on its own. NPS surveys capture sentiment at a single point in time, from the people who chose to respond, which is rarely a representative sample of the account. Support ticket volume is a lagging indicator by definition: the problem has already happened. CS touchpoint engagement tells you whether the customer is willing to talk to you, not whether they are getting value from the product. And experienced CSM intuition does not scale across a book of 200 accounts. The deeper problem is timing. By the time these signals become alarming enough to trigger action, the renewal conversation is often weeks or months away. The CSM is managing a transaction, not a relationship. The outcome is largely determined before the intervention begins. ## How Telemetry Changes the Timing Behavioral telemetry changes the churn prediction problem in one fundamental way: it moves the signal earlier. The patterns of product usage that precede churn do not appear suddenly at the 90-day renewal mark. They develop over months. A gradual decline in the number of active users. A shift in which features are being used and which are being abandoned. A reduction in the frequency and volume of API calls. An executive who stops appearing in session data. These changes accumulate quietly, well before anyone in the commercial relationship has named a problem. When a predictive model is trained on a large enough historical base of these behavioral patterns, it learns to recognize the early signal from the noise. Not because any single data point is determinative, but because the combination of behavioral changes, their sequence, their timing relative to the customer's lifecycle, and their similarity to patterns that have preceded churn in comparable accounts, produces a probability estimate that is meaningful far earlier than any lagging indicator could provide. The QuadSci platform has analyzed 10 trillion telemetry events to build its predictive models. The result is 90% predictive accuracy for churn and growth events, with signals available 9-18 months in advance of the churn or growth event. That lead time is not incidental. It is the direct product of reading behavioral data early enough and at sufficient depth to see what is coming before the conventional indicators confirm it. ## Telemetry and Expansion: The Other Direction Churn prediction gets most of the attention in this conversation, but telemetry is equally valuable on the expansion side. The behavioral signals that indicate a customer is ready to expand their contract, adopting new features at an accelerating rate, hitting the limits of their current tier, integrating the product into new workflows, adding users in departments that were not part of the original deployment, are present in the telemetry data well before anyone on the sales or CS team has framed it as an upsell opportunity. For most organizations, expansion revenue is identified reactively: a customer asks about pricing for additional seats, or a CSM notices during a QBR that usage has grown. The opportunity is real, but it was visible in the data weeks or months earlier. On average, QuadSci finds 15% of ARR sitting unpiped on average, revenue that was there in the behavioral signal but had not yet been translated into a commercial conversation. Telemetry-based prediction treats expansion and churn as two sides of the same intelligence problem. The same behavioral data that surfaces risk also surfaces opportunity, and doing both from the same data layer means revenue teams are no longer choosing between retention and growth. ## What Good Telemetry Infrastructure Looks Like For organizations building toward telemetry-based churn prediction, there are a few foundational questions worth answering before evaluating platforms. First, how complete is your instrumentation? Front-end analytics coverage is often uneven, with newer features well-instrumented and older parts of the product running on legacy tracking that is inconsistent or missing. Back-end API and workflow telemetry is frequently not captured at all. Gaps in instrumentation create gaps in the model. Second, how much historical data do you have? A model trained on 30 days of behavioral data will produce different predictions than one trained on 24 months. The longer the historical baseline, the more the model can learn about what normal looks like for a given customer type, and the earlier it can identify meaningful deviation from that baseline. Third, is your telemetry connected to your commercial context? Behavioral signals are most powerful when they are interpreted against the account's ARR, contract terms, renewal date, and customer profile. A 20% decline in active users means something different for a 500-seat enterprise account at $500K ARR than for a 10-seat SMB account at $10K ARR. Telemetry without commercial context produces signals. Telemetry with commercial context produces actionable intelligence. ## From Signal to Action The final piece of the telemetry puzzle is delivery. A signal that exists in a dashboard no one checks is not a working early warning system. The behavioral intelligence has to reach the people who can act on it, in the systems where they already work, in a form they can act on without requiring them to become data analysts. This is where the conversation about telemetry connects back to the broader design of the revenue team's operating model. The most sophisticated churn prediction infrastructure in the world does not change outcomes if a CSM with 150 accounts cannot translate the signal into a next conversation with the right stakeholder at the right time. Product telemetry is the foundation. It is the data layer that makes early, accurate, scalable churn and growth prediction possible in a way that no other signal source can replicate. But it is the beginning of the intelligence problem, not the end of it. The organizations that are consistently outperforming on net revenue retention are the ones that have solved both: deep, complete telemetry that reads the full behavioral picture, and an action layer that gets the right signal to the right person early enough to change the outcome. QuadSci delivers 90% predictive accuracy for churn and growth events, with signals available 9-18 months in advance. The platform has analyzed 10 trillion telemetry events to build its predictive models, and finds 15% of ARR sitting unpiped on average.

They are fundamentally different in how they are constructed, how accurate they tend to be, and how much lead time they provide to [Customer Success](/solutions/customer-success), [RevOps](/solutions/revenue-revops), and [Sales](/solutions/drive-expansion-revenue) teams. Product-usage-based customer health scoring measures customer risk and growth potential using behavioral signals from inside the product, such as feature adoption, workflow completion, and API activity, rather than CRM fields, NPS surveys, or support ticket volume. It is more predictive than static inputs because product behavior changes before relationship sentiment does. Telemetry captures that shift in real time. CRM data captures it weeks or months later, if at all. ## What Is a Customer Health Score? A customer health score is a composite metric, typically a single number between 0 and 100, that customer success teams use to summarize the state of a customer relationship. Health scores combine several inputs: product login frequency, support ticket volume, NPS or CSAT survey responses, contract value, stakeholder engagement, and CRM fields. Health scores are created by a human analyst or CS operations team who selects inputs, assigns weights, and sets thresholds. The score reflects a set of assumptions about what matters, not necessarily what the data says is predictive. It is a snapshot of conditions at a point in time. ## What Is Product Telemetry? Product telemetry is the raw, continuous stream of behavioral events generated as users interact with a software product. Every feature click, API call, workflow completion, session start, and export action is a telemetry event. In a typical enterprise SaaS product, thousands of telemetry events are generated per customer per day. Telemetry is not a score. It is raw signal. The value comes from applying machine learning to large telemetry datasets to identify patterns that precede specific outcomes, such as churn or expansion. ## What Is a Telemetry-Based Customer Health Score? A telemetry-based customer health score uses product usage signals, such as feature adoption rate, workflow completion frequency, and API call volume, to identify churn risk, expansion potential, and next-best actions. This differs from CRM-only health scoring, which depends on manually entered account data, lifecycle fields, sentiment notes, or customer success activity history. For teams evaluating AI customer health scoring, the key distinction is whether the score is grounded in actual customer behavior inside the product. Telemetry-based scoring surfaces leading indicators from usage patterns. CRM-only scoring lags when account data is incomplete, delayed, or manually updated. ## Product Usage Signals That Indicate Churn or Growth Risk **Feature depth.** Customers who use only one or two core features are at higher churn risk than those who have expanded into secondary workflows. Declining feature depth often precedes disengagement by months. **Seat expansion and contraction.** Changes in active user counts within an account are an early indicator of organizational commitment. Seat growth often precedes a formal expansion conversation. Seat contraction often precedes a reduction or churn. **Workflow drop-off.** When users start a workflow but fail to complete it consistently, that pattern signals friction or declining perceived value. Repeated drop-off at the same step often indicates a product fit issue. **Renewal-period behavior changes.** Account activity in the 60-90 days before renewal frequently diverges from baseline. Declining session frequency or feature usage during this window is a reliable precursor to churn risk. **API call volume trends.** For platform or infrastructure products, API call volume reflects integration depth. A sustained decline in call volume often indicates a customer is reducing reliance on the product, sometimes before any CS conversation occurs. ## Key Differences Between Health Scores and Telemetry-Based Scoring | | Traditional Health Score | Telemetry-Driven Health Score | QuadSci Customer Intelligence | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Data inputs | CRM fields, NPS, support tickets, login frequency | Product usage events, feature adoption, workflow patterns | Product telemetry, conversational intelligence, and external signals | | Signal type | Lagging | Leading | Leading + prescriptive | | Update cadence | Weekly or monthly | Continuous | Continuous | | Lead time | 30–90 days before renewal | Months before renewal | 12 months in advance of a churn or growth event | | Predictive accuracy | Analyst-defined weights | Model-trained | 90% accuracy for churn and growth, trained on 10 trillion telemetry events | | Action output | CS alert | CS alert | Next-best action across CS, RevOps, and Sales | **Subjectivity vs. objectivity.** Health scores are designed by humans who decide what matters. The weight assigned to a support ticket versus a login event reflects an analyst's judgment. Telemetry-based models learn which signals actually predict outcomes from historical data, without those assumptions built in. **Snapshots vs. continuous signals.** Health scores are typically calculated weekly or monthly. Telemetry is continuous. An account that goes quiet on a Monday will appear in telemetry-based models before the next scheduled health score update. **Lagging vs. leading indicators.** Health scores often move after the relationship has already shifted. A score drops when engagement falls. Telemetry-based models identify the early behavioral precursors of disengagement before the score would move, because they are trained to recognize subtle pattern shifts. **Lead time.** This is the most consequential difference. Health scores typically surface risk 30 to 90 days before renewal. Telemetry-based prediction, done well, surfaces risk 9 to 18 months in advance of a churn or growth event, a window that gives CS and Sales teams time to actually change the outcome. ## When Health Scores Are Useful Health scores are not without value. They are interpretable, easy to explain to frontline CS teams, and require no machine learning infrastructure. For small customer bases, they can be sufficient. The limitation appears at scale and in high-stakes renewals where lead time matters. When the cost of losing an account is high and the time required to recover the relationship is long, the 30-to-90-day window that health scores provide is often not enough. ## How QuadSci Approaches Customer Health Scoring QuadSci is built for Customer Success, RevOps, and Sales teams that need customer health scores based on real product usage, not only CRM notes, survey responses, or account metadata. QuadSci's [Growth AI](/product/growth-ai) platform is built on telemetry rather than health scores. The platform has analyzed over 10 trillion telemetry events to build predictive models that deliver 90% predictive accuracy for churn and growth events. Signals are surfaced 9 to 18 months in advance of a churn or growth event, a window that health score-based approaches cannot produce. QuadSci does not replace the customer success workflow. It changes when that workflow starts. ## Related Reading - [What Is Telemetry-Based Churn Prediction?](/blog/what-is-telemetry-based-churn-prediction) - [The Clock's Ticking: The Science of Spotting Churn Risk Early](/blog/hidden-churn-risk) - [What Is Growth AI and How Does It Work?](/blog/what-is-growth-ai) --- content_type: blog_post title: "What Is Telemetry-Based Churn Prediction?" url: https://quadsci.ai/blog/what-is-telemetry-based-churn-prediction date_published: 2026-06-06 category: Research author: QuadSci Team --- Telemetry-based churn prediction is the practice of using product usage data, behavioral signals, and in-app event streams to forecast which customers are likely to cancel, downgrade, or reduce spend before those outcomes occur. ## How It Works Traditional churn prediction models rely on lagging indicators: support ticket volume, survey scores, or renewal-stage activity. By the time those signals appear, the churn decision is often already made. Telemetry-based churn prediction works differently. It draws on raw product telemetry, the continuous stream of events generated as customers interact with a software product. Feature adoption rates, session frequency, workflow completion patterns, API call volumes, and user login cadence are all telemetry events. At scale, these signals reveal behavioral patterns that consistently precede churn months before a customer disengages or notifies their account team. The prediction engine ingests these event streams, identifies predictive patterns from historical outcomes, and scores every account in the customer base on an ongoing basis. ## Why Telemetry Signals Are More Predictive Than Survey or CRM Data Survey data reflects how customers say they feel. Telemetry data reflects what customers actually do. The gap between stated intent and behavioral reality is where most churn prediction models fail. A customer who scores 8 on an NPS survey in March may have already begun disengaging from the product in January. The survey captured their sentiment at a point in time. The telemetry captured the behavior continuously. By the time a negative survey response lands, the underlying shift has often been underway for months. CRM data has a different but related problem. It captures what sales and success teams observe and log, which means it is filtered through human attention and availability. Reps record what they notice. They miss what they don't. Entire categories of behavioral signal — feature abandonment, session drop-off, declining workflow completion rates — never make it into a CRM field because no one is watching for them systematically. Telemetry removes that dependency. It is generated automatically as a byproduct of product usage, with no human in the loop. ## The Gap Between Signal and Action Is Where Churn Is Won or Lost Knowing a customer is at risk is only half the equation. The other half is having enough time to do something about it. Turning around an at-risk account requires identifying the right stakeholders, diagnosing what has changed, developing a re-engagement plan, scheduling executive touchpoints, potentially involving product or support, and demonstrating renewed value, all before a renewal decision is made. In a complex B2B relationship, that sequence takes months, not weeks. When risk is surfaced 30 days before renewal, most of those steps are no longer available. When risk is surfaced 12 months in advance, the full playbook is available. The signal is only as valuable as the time it creates to act on it. ## How QuadSci Applies This QuadSci's AI platform is built on telemetry-based churn prediction at scale. The platform has analyzed over 10 trillion telemetry events to train its predictive models, achieving 90% predictive accuracy for churn and growth events across the customer base. Signals are delivered 12 months in advance of a churn or growth event, giving revenue teams time to act rather than react. QuadSci ingests product telemetry directly, without requiring manual data entry or CRM hygiene, and surfaces predictions through its Q Chat conversational interface and MCP server integration. ## Solutions Pages QuadSci publishes solution pages that map its customer intelligence platform to the specific teams and use cases inside a B2B SaaS revenue motion. ### Solutions by Team #### Customer Success — /solutions/customer-success Behavioral intelligence for CS teams to identify at-risk accounts before traditional health scores flag them, prioritize CSM time against the highest-impact accounts, and ground QBRs and renewal conversations in actual product usage instead of relationship sentiment. #### Revenue & RevOps — /solutions/revenue-revops Predictive intelligence that improves renewal forecasting accuracy, surfaces pipeline risk and expansion opportunity from product signal, and gives RevOps a single behavioral source of truth that connects to Salesforce, Clari, and Gainsight. #### Marketing — /solutions/marketing Behavioral cohorts and product-usage signals that let marketing teams build lifecycle programs, lookalike targeting, and PLG nurture flows grounded in real customer behavior rather than firmographics or self-reported intent. #### Product — /solutions/product Behavioral segmentation and outcome-linked usage data that helps product teams prioritize roadmap investments, validate feature adoption, and understand which usage patterns correlate with retention and expansion. ### Solutions by Use Case #### Reduce Churn — /solutions/reduce-churn Predicts which accounts will churn up to 12 months in advance with up to 94% accuracy, isolates the behavioral drivers of risk, and routes plays into the tools CS and account teams already use. #### Increase Retention — /solutions/increase-retention Identifies the usage patterns that correlate with long-term retention, surfaces accounts drifting away from those patterns, and gives teams the lead time to intervene before risk hardens into churn. #### Drive Expansion Revenue — /solutions/drive-expansion-revenue Detects expansion-ready accounts based on adoption depth, breadth, and trajectory, predicts expansion opportunity with up to 90% accuracy, and routes those signals to AEs and CSMs with specific plays. #### Enable Product-Led Growth — /solutions/product-led-growth Turns product telemetry into the connective tissue that makes PLG work across teams. Q Chat synthesizes Growth AI's behavioral and predictive intelligence with playbooks, product documentation, and internal best practices to generate specific plays for each team at each stage of the motion. --- content_type: blog_post title: "What Is Cohorts AI and How Does It Work?" url: https://quadsci.ai/blog/what-is-cohorts-ai date_published: 2026-04-20 category: Product author: QuadSci Team --- Most organizations believe they understand how customers experience their product because they have invested in tools across product, engineering, and revenue teams. In reality, that view is fragmented. Product teams see feature usage. Engineering sees system activity. Revenue teams see account snapshots in CRM. Each system captures a valid signal, but none are designed to show how customer behavior evolves over time or how it connects to outcomes like ARR and retention. Cohorts AI exists to create that connection. ## What Is Cohorts AI? Cohorts AI analyzes product telemetry to identify patterns in how customers use a product over time. Instead of segmenting customers by industry or company size, it groups them based on behavior. These groupings, called cohorts, represent distinct usage patterns across the product. Customers move between cohorts as their behavior changes. That movement reflects how adoption evolves, where it accelerates, and where it breaks down. Cohorts AI uses unsupervised machine learning, which means it does not rely on predefined stages or labels. The structure of the customer journey is derived directly from observed behavior. ## How Cohorts AI Works Cohorts AI ingests large volumes of product telemetry, including user activity, feature usage, and workflow interactions. This data is typically fragmented across systems and teams. The system normalizes and joins this data to create a unified view of customer behavior. From there, behavior is modeled as sequences rather than snapshots. Instead of measuring isolated activity, Cohorts AI analyzes how usage patterns develop over time, how engagement expands or contracts, and how behaviors cluster together. Using unsupervised learning, it identifies natural groupings of similar behavior. These groupings form cohorts. Cohorts are not static. Customers move between them as their usage changes, and that movement becomes a key signal of how value is developing. ## Connecting Behavior to Revenue Cohorts AI indexes each cohort to business outcomes such as ARR and Net Dollar Retention. This allows teams to understand which usage patterns lead to growth, which indicate stability, and which signal risk. Because cohorts are defined independently from revenue, the system maintains an objective view of behavior. Revenue is applied after the fact to measure impact, not to define the patterns. ## What Cohorts AI Produces Cohorts AI produces a structured view of the customer base based on behavior. It shows the range of usage patterns across customers, how customers move between those patterns over time, which patterns correlate to expansion or churn, and benchmarks for successful adoption. This creates a shared understanding of the customer grounded in how the product is actually used. ## How It Fits Into QuadSci Cohorts AI provides the behavioral foundation for QuadSci. It shows how customers use the product and how that usage evolves. Growth AI builds on this to predict outcomes, and Q-Chat makes these insights accessible across the organization. Before teams can act, they need to see clearly. Cohorts AI makes that possible. --- content_type: blog_post title: 7 Customer Intelligence Use Cases That Turn Product Data Into Revenue url: https://quadsci.ai/blog/customer-intelligence-use-cases date_published: 2026-03-31 category: Insight author: QuadSci Team --- Customer intelligence is often described as a combination of CRM data, engagement metrics, and customer sentiment. In practice, that definition is incomplete. As net revenue retention comes under pressure across SaaS, many companies are discovering that understanding what customers say is not enough. Growth depends on understanding what customers actually do inside the product and how that behavior translates into revenue. ## What Is Customer Intelligence? Customer intelligence refers to the ability to understand how customers behave across your product and how that behavior connects to outcomes like retention, expansion, and churn. Traditional approaches rely on activity and sentiment. AI-driven customer intelligence incorporates product usage, revealing how customers derive value and how that value evolves over time. ## 7 Use Cases 1. Identify Churn Risk Early Using Customer Behavior Data - Spot risk months before renewal signals appear by connecting behavioral patterns to historical outcomes. 2. Find Expansion Opportunities Beyond the Pipeline - Identify growth-ready accounts based on real usage, not assumptions. 3. Understand the Full Range of Customer Behavior - See how different usage patterns map directly to revenue outcomes using Cohorts AI. 4. Drive Adoption Through Targeted Cohort Shifts - Move customers toward higher-value usage patterns. 5. Benchmark Onboarding and Early Adoption - Define what "good" looks like in the first 180 days. 6. Align Revenue, Product, and Customer Success Teams - Create a shared view of the customer across the organization. 7. Strengthen Renewal Conversations with "Price to Value" Context - Ground renewals in measurable product value, not opinion. ## From Customer Intelligence to Revenue Execution Cohorts AI reveals how customers behave and how those behaviors map to revenue. Growth AI shows where those behaviors are leading, predicting expansion, stability, or churn months in advance. Together, they create a system where customer intelligence is no longer descriptive, but actionable. --- content_type: blog_post title: "Cohorts AI vs Growth AI: What's the Difference and Why You Need Both" url: https://quadsci.ai/blog/cohorts-vs-growth-ai date_published: 2026-03-26 category: Product author: QuadSci Team --- Most revenue teams are trying to answer two fundamental questions: What are our customers doing? And what will that mean for our business? Different teams use different pieces of software to try and answer those questions. Product analytics tools show how customers use features, while revenue systems track pipeline, renewals, and expansion. The two systems don't speak to each other and the picture that emerges is siloed and incomplete. Cohorts AI and Growth AI address this gap from two different directions. ## Understanding Customer Behavior: Cohorts AI Cohorts AI focuses on how customers use a product by uncovering the full range of behavioral patterns that exist across a customer base. Instead of segmenting customers by industry, company size, or persona, it analyzes product telemetry to identify how customers actually interact with the product over time. These patterns are not predefined. They emerge directly from usage, capturing the different ways customers adopt, expand, specialize, or disengage. The result is a set of usage-based cohorts directly tied to ARR and business outcomes. This creates a unified view of the customer base, where patterns of usage are continuously mapped to value, rather than interpreted in isolation. Some customers demonstrate broad, mature adoption across multiple features, embedding the product deeply into their workflows. Others are still building foundational usage, engaging with only a subset of capabilities. There are also customers whose usage is highly specialized, as well as those whose activity remains limited or inconsistent. What matters is not the label assigned to each cohort, but the clarity these patterns provide when viewed together. Taken as a whole, this creates a continuous and comprehensive view of the customer base alongside ARR performance, making it possible to see not just how customers behave, but how that behavior correlates to revenue. From this foundation, the AI reveals: - The full range of engagement patterns across the customer base, from high and sustained usage to more limited or inconsistent activity. - The features and behaviors that consistently drive value, as well as those that signal emerging risk - The specific usage patterns that define high-performing customers and the ARR outcomes associated with them This moves Cohorts AI beyond segmentation into a system for understanding and shaping behavior. By making these patterns visible, teams can identify where customers are today and design targeted interventions to move them toward higher-value usage states. Cohorts AI answers a foundational question: how are customers actually using the product, and how does that usage translate into value? ## Understanding Revenue Trajectory: Growth AI Growth AI focuses on where revenue is headed by connecting how customers behave to how revenue actually forms. It analyzes product usage, customer engagement, support patterns, and commercial data together, creating a clear picture of each account that reflects not just its current state, but its trajectory over time. Rather than relying on static health scores or pipeline indicators, the system evaluates how behavioral patterns have historically translated into expansion, stability, or churn across the broader customer base. Each account is then classified into one of five outcome categories based on that trajectory: - High growth (150%+ NDR), where behavior reflects strong and expanding value realization - Moderate growth (110% to 150% NDR), where usage supports incremental expansion - Stability (>95% to 110% NDR), where adoption is sufficient to sustain the relationship but not deepen it - Contraction (>0% to 95%), where behavioral signals indicate declining value - Churn, where patterns align with full disengagement This classification is not a snapshot. It reflects how the account is evolving relative to patterns observed across similar customers, which allows the model to surface change earlier than traditional indicators. Alongside classification, Growth AI produces forward-looking ARR forecasts at both the account and aggregate level, giving leadership a more precise view of how revenue is likely to move over the next several quarters. These forecasts are supported by customer-specific signals drawn from usage, engagement, and operational trends, making it possible to understand not just what is likely to happen, but why. Over time, the system also surfaces macro-level insights, identifying the behavioral patterns that consistently drive growth or precede churn across the entire customer base. This creates a feedback loop between individual account strategy and broader GTM decision-making. Taken together, Growth AI moves beyond prediction as a standalone output. It provides a structured view of where revenue is forming, where it is at risk, and what signals are shaping those outcomes, allowing teams to engage earlier and with far more precision. Growth AI answers a simple but historically difficult question: what will happen next, and what should we do about it? ## From Insight to Coordination When both systems operate together, they create a shared intelligence layer across teams that helps to align action and decision making. Marketing can target accounts based on adoption maturity and growth potential. Sales can prioritize expansion where behavior supports it. Customer success can intervene earlier with a clear understanding of both risk and cause, and product teams can see which features drive movement across cohorts and revenue outcomes. Instead of working from separate views of the customer from separate pieces of software, teams operate from a common foundation. What emerges is a new operating model grounded in customer behavior relative to ARR value that uses historical data to predict future revenue movement. --- content_type: blog_post title: "The Clock's Ticking: The Science of Spotting Churn Risk Early" url: https://quadsci.ai/blog/hidden-churn-risk date_published: 2026-03-20 category: Insight author: QuadSci Team --- Churn rarely appears suddenly. By the time it shows up in a renewal forecast or a customer success dashboard, the underlying conditions have been in place for months. So CS teams race to catch up with a lit fuse in the hopes they can stop a customer from leaving. And all too often, it's too little too late. Most churn detection relies on signals that surface close to renewal like reduced engagement from key stakeholders, negative customer feedback or renewal hesitancy. These signals are important, but they are also late-stage indicators. They reflect the outcome of a process already underway and detectable far ahead of QBRs or customer meetings. ## Where Churn Actually Begins Churn begins in behavior. Long before a customer expresses dissatisfaction or support tickets drop, changes occur in how they use the product. The feature usage becomes narrower and key workflows are used less frequently. Activity shifts from core functionality to peripheral usage and engagement becomes inconsistent across teams. These changes are gradual and often difficult to detect through traditional reporting. They do not always trigger alerts or align with sentiment. But they are consistent and absolutely unique for each business. Across large customer bases, similar patterns tend to precede contraction and churn much further out from renewal than you may think. ## Making Behavioral Risk Visible When product telemetry is analyzed at scale, these patterns can be identified earlier. Instead of waiting for late-stage indicators, teams can detect: - Early declines in meaningful usage - Gaps in adoption relative to high-performing customers - Signals of stalled value realization - Behavioral divergence from growth trajectories Surfacing this information early allows risk to be detected three to four quarters before it becomes obvious. ## Moving From Detection to Intervention Early visibility changes how teams respond across core functions. Sales, CS and product all work from the same source of truth and empowered with the same customer intelligence source from user behavior and correlated to ARR value. Customer success can engage with specific context about which features are underutilized, where workflows are breaking down and what behaviors need to be reinforced. Sales can align with that strategy, ensuring that renewal conversations are grounded in value rather than urgency. Product teams can identify systemic issues affecting multiple customers and address them before they impact revenue at scale. The goal is not to react to churn but prevent it. ## Rethinking Churn Management Churn management is often framed as a retention problem. In practice, though, it's really a visibility and signal issue. The answer lies in the product and usage patterns that show, literally, where customers find value and when that experience starts to degrade. When you shift to a product-centric approach, what you get back is time to plan and execute - not react. --- content_type: blog_post title: "Product-Centricity: Why the Product Must Lead the Relationship" url: https://quadsci.ai/blog/product-centricity date_published: 2026-01-28 category: Insight author: QuadSci Team --- Does this sound familiar? A two-hour meeting with sales, marketing, finance, operations, and executives poring over CRM data and spreadsheets, trying to assemble a revenue narrative and forecast the next quarter, half, or year. Hanging over the discussion is an upcoming meeting with the CEO, the board, or investors. Line by line, the team recounts impressions of what happened and what might happen next. "That one looks good." or "I'm confident this will close." Most software leaders have lived this moment. Some are still living it. For years, CRMs and systems of record were the best tools available to forecast and plan. They captured conversations, activities, and relationships, and organizations became increasingly sophisticated at interpreting them. But interpretation is not the same as truth. ## Why the Old Model Breaks Down CRMs were never designed to be the foundation of a software company. They became central out of necessity rather than intent. They capture interactions, notes, and activities. They are excellent at recording relationships. But when a CRM becomes the proxy for customer health or opportunity, organizations end up managing narratives instead of reality. As software businesses scaled, they unintentionally built silos around systems of record. Sales lived in CRM. Product lived in analytics. Engineering lived in observability. Finance lived in revenue reports. Each function optimized locally, but no system connected customer behavior to business outcomes in a single, objective way. The result is familiar: forecasts shaped by opinion, account plans driven by anecdote, and customer conversations rooted in perception rather than evidence. ## The Product as the Unifying Force In a product-centric model, usage sits at the center. CRMs, customer success platforms, and forecasting tools become downstream consumers of that intelligence. They are informed by behavior rather than asked to explain it. Product-centricity offers a different foundation, one grounded in how customers actually use the product and how that usage relates to value. More importantly, the product is the only constant in a business. People change jobs, accounts evolve, new tools are introduced and market conditions shift. But, the product, and how customers engage with it, remains the most reliable signal of value creation. Product-centricity means orienting every function around that signal. Sales, customer success, marketing, finance, and product teams operate from the same underlying reality: observed usage over time. Instead of asking customers how things are going, teams enter conversations with perspective. They understand which features matter, where adoption is building, and where risk is forming, often before it surfaces in meetings. That context allows teams to guide customers toward the behaviors and use cases that drive real value, improving both the customer experience and the durability of the relationship. ## The Role of AI What makes product-centricity possible at scale is AI. AI breaks down the silos created by systems of record and joins disparate data sets into a coherent view of customer behavior. Billions of product telemetry events, combined with account context, service signals, and revenue data, can now be synthesized into an objective understanding of value. The output explains not just what customers are doing, but why those behaviors matter for growth, expansion, or churn. Insights that were typically assembled by teams stitching together analytics from multiple tools and subject to bias, can now be generated by one piece of technology. The time saving is substantial. And, if the model is tested, the intelligence is verifiable because it is based on product usage rather than human-generated data. As teams look to the new year, the time has to ask if you can go another fiscal year hoping your forecast is correct and hoping your customers don't churn. If not, you may be ready to make your organization truly product-centric. --- content_type: blog_post title: "The Customer Journey You've Never Actually Seen" url: https://quadsci.ai/blog/customer-journey-never-seen date_published: 2026-01-27 category: Insight author: QuadSci Team --- ## Customer Journeys Break Where Silos Begin For years, product and revenue leaders have worked to understand the customer journey using the best tools available to them. As new solutions came to market, teams gained increasingly detailed views into specific parts of the customer experience. Product analytics made feature usage visible. CRMs captured commercial activity and conversations. Customer success platforms summarized engagement and health. What those tools never promised, and were never designed to deliver, was a complete view of the customer journey. Together, they required people to stitch the picture into something coherent and, over time, that process became a core part of how organizations operated. ## The Challenge of Data Fragmentation As those tools proliferated, however, a new set of problems emerged. Data became richer, but also more fragmented. Visibility improved within functions, the broader picture was still obscured. Inevitably, bias crept in. Context was lost between systems. Patterns that unfolded gradually over time were difficult to detect, and early signals often went unnoticed. What most organizations called a "customer journey" was not something they could actually see. It was something they inferred. A real customer journey emerges through patterns of behavior that evolve over time. Customers explore, adopt, deepen usage, plateau, or quietly disengage in ways that rarely resemble a clean funnel or lifecycle diagram. ## Human Work Moves Downstream With AI now capable of joining telemetry across silos and modeling behavior at scale, the task of interpreting signals no longer sits primarily with humans. The stitching has already been done, the usage patterns are identified and the behavioral paths are surfaced. Instead of debating what might be happening, teams are confronted with a clear picture of what is happening and must decide how to respond. Product leaders are forced to reconsider roadmaps in light of the behaviors that actually drive adoption and value. Revenue and customer teams have to rethink where effort translates into ARR. ## What Can You Do Now? Take away the time consuming work of pulling data, cleaning it up and piecing it together to find gaps and articulate a journey, and you're left with time to act. The capabilities a team gains are many-fold: action is tied directly to ARR value, roadmaps recalibrated to value-driving feature development, CS teams can intervene earlier and with more efficiency and leaders have a much stronger sense of what to do now and what will happen three or four quarters later. That power is available today through Cohorts AI.

I often see claims about near-perfect accuracy for predicting churn, citing high percentages and vague metrics that are, frankly, difficult to understand. ## Make Sure You Understand Exactly What Any Evaluation Metric is Measuring The most important thing is that you should take any number with a big grain of salt. Context matters a lot. If you are hearing vague grumblings of 99% accuracy, without a clear sense of what that actually means, it's likely too good to be true. Important questions to ask: - What does "accuracy" actually mean? (There are A LOT of definitions in machine learning). - What data are you using to test the model? (It should be on a never-touched sample, completely separate from training data). - What exact outcome is the model targeting? (Often the targets are misleading or unclear). - How can I verify this claim or that this model is useful? - What does "good performance" mean in this business context? At QuadSci, we provide a variety of metrics and clearly define them in advance of training. For our multi-class GrowthAI model, which predicts 5 distinct outcomes (from high growth to contraction to churn), the metric that seems to be the most commonly accepted measure of "accuracy" is recall. ## It's Much Easier to Evaluate the Model's Insightfulness and Usefulness than its Predictiveness I have a strong bias for models that are explainable and transparent. Neural Networks can be incredibly predictive and useful, but often they can over-memorize training data and you can't easily verify WHY it is predicting something will happen. Understanding why a prediction is made is critical: if you do not know why something will churn, there's not much you can do about it. We painstakingly convert billions of telemetry data into understandable signals via our proprietary data processors, and we neatly summarize the most important signals driving our model's predictions. ## Ultimately, Just Test it In the Field We've found that people don't fully buy in until they can "feel" the product. After a trial, once we've trained our model and finished our dashboard, we do something we call "dealer's choice." We simply ask our client (on the spot) if there are any accounts that they know well that they would like to profile in our dashboard. With no way to prepare in advance. Often, they pick a recent churn that took them by surprise. Nine out of ten times, we correctly identify the risk in the account, up to a year before the event. Conclusion: If you come across an applied AI or ML solution, make sure you understand the evaluation metric well, and that you can verify and evaluate the model's insights and its predictions directly in the field. Otherwise, give it a pass. --- content_type: blog_post title: "Humans See Relationships. AI Sees Patterns. Forecasts Need Both" url: https://quadsci.ai/blog/humans-ai-forecasts date_published: 2025-12-16 category: Insight author: QuadSci Team --- Sales is a combination of art and science. It rewards intuition, relationships, and the ability to read a room. These skills matter in complex B2B sales. They help people build trust and guide customers through long decisions. But forecasting is different. Executives rely on forecasts to invest in their companies growth and boards use them to assess the effectiveness of leadership. Despite all the pressure on a forecast, they are notoriously unreliable. Why? Because humans can't predict the future and when you ask them to, you're inviting wishful thinking to the table. According to Harvard Business Review, sales teams often become more susceptible to wishful thinking in pursuit of targets. ## Why Revenue Forecasting Accuracy Breaks Down Most revenue forecasts are built on human-generated data. CRM fields, deal notes, pipeline stages, and subjective health scores dominate the signal set. These inputs reflect what people believe is happening, not always what customers are actually doing. By the time problems appear in CRM, they often start months earlier. This is the core limitation of traditional forecasting. It relies too heavily on perception and too little on behavior. ## How Predictive AI Improves Forecast Accuracy Improving forecast accuracy requires expanding the signal set, not replacing human judgment. Predictive AI can analyze billions of data points across multiple systems and time horizons. When deployed correctly, it evaluates accounts objectively and consistently, without being influenced by quotas or optimism. ## Why Telemetry Data Matters for Revenue Forecasts Telemetry data shows how customers actually use a product in their daily work. It captures which teams are active, which features are being adopted, how usage is trending, and whether key stakeholders continue to engage over time. These behavioral signals add depth that most CRMs cannot capture. CRM data still matters. It provides commercial structure, deal context, and relationship history. Support systems contribute another layer by revealing friction, risk, and operational strain. Each source is incomplete on its own. The breakthrough comes when predictive AI connects them. ## The Role of Predictive AI in Modern Revenue Forecasting Predictive AI analyzes telemetry data, CRM data, product events, support patterns, and other go-to-market signals together. It learns from long-term behavior across many customers and identifies patterns that correlate with expansion, contraction, or churn. Most importantly, it detects meaningful shifts months before renewal or forecast reviews. Organizations perform best when they combine human empathy with data-driven clarity. Predictive AI that incorporates telemetry, CRM, and other GTM signals makes that balance possible. It transforms fragmented information into shared understanding and gives revenue leaders the confidence to steer the business with precision, foresight, and trust. --- content_type: blog_post title: "The CFO and the Renewal Decision" url: https://quadsci.ai/blog/cfo-renewal-decision date_published: 2025-12-11 category: Insight author: QuadSci Team --- How Telemetry and AI help you tell the value story to the CFO A renewal is about more than your champion. Increasingly, the CFO is playing a central role in renewal decisions as their role expands in many organizations. This new scope for finance creates challenges for both internal champions and external service providers come renewal time. To best position themselves at renewals, it's critical account teams and their revenue leaders have a clear view of product adoption, usage and value to the client throughout the course of a contract. It's no longer enough to rely on the strength of the relationship with a team, accounts teams need to come armed with numbers and a clear value story. TL;DR: • CFOs are stewards that need to see and understand organizational value at renewal time • It's critical CS teams provide the information their internal champions need to make the case • AI unlocks the value story for internal champions and their external support • Data creates transparency and durable investments the CFO trusts ## How Does AI Clarify the Value Story? Telemetry data tells a story about what's happening on a piece of software. But on its own, raw telemetry is a fragment of the value story. It doesn't explain why the customer is seeing results, where value is being created, or how the outcomes connect to business goals. AI changes that. It turns scattered signals into a coherent story. AI analyzes telemetry data alongside broader behavioral and organizational patterns and marries them to customer signals like CRM data. It identifies meaningful trends, contextualizes them, and highlights the connections that matter most during a renewal conversation. Instead of a list of metrics, it produces a narrative that explains: → which activities are driving measurable outcomes → where adoption is accelerating or flattening → which use cases have the strongest operational impact → how the customer compares to relevant benchmarks → where the product can deliver additional value going forward AI transforms raw data into a value story that internal champions, CFOs, and CROs can all align around. This shift from "here are the numbers" to "here's what the numbers mean" is what makes renewal conversations clearer, more factual, and more collaborative. ## How to Build a Compelling Renewal Narrative? AI gives CSMs the tools to translate usage into business impact for their champions. That story is a critical component in CFO's understanding of the investment value. Armed with objective data, champions can highlight where value is being created, where adoption is expanding, and where deeper engagement would drive stronger outcomes. For instance, Cohorts AI maps the historical usage of a product across a variety of features for all users. First, the view of usage indicates the value the product is delivering to the entire team. Then, through analysis of telemetry data, you can unpack how the team is using the product and what they are using it to do. For example, if support tickets dipped over two quarters, understanding why is valuable information that speaks to product engagement in an account. Conversely, if support tickets increased across multiple users, it demonstrates to the CFO that the team is engaged and using the product. With this sort of objective information, the discussion moves away from price defense and toward shared goals. When both sides look at the same data, it creates transparency and trust, leading to more productive and balanced conversations with CFOs who want to make smart, durable investments. --- content_type: blog_post title: "Why is Growth Slowing Down? The Revenue Reality for B2B Software" url: https://quadsci.ai/blog/revenue-reality-b2b date_published: 2025-12-10 category: Insight author: QuadSci Team --- Understanding why traditional approaches fail and how telemetry-driven intelligence changes the equation For years, revenue teams have tried to grow by optimizing workflows, tightening processes, and creating health scores. Informing those actions is machine-learning intelligence based on human data to try and stave off churn and stabilize their revenue. The results speak for themselves. According to SBI, 58.8% of B2B organizations saw NRR decline over the last two years. Business leaders continue to explore the data their teams generate in the hopes it will lead to better decisions, better bets and better revenue. But, the truth isn't in what people say, it's in what they do. To spur growth, you need to understand behavior and that lives in telemetry. ## What's the Problem with Human-Generated Data? Most companies and market solutions rely on subjective inputs: CRM notes, NPS scores, reactive health indicators, or the "feel" of the relationship. The challenge with human-generated data is that it paints only a partial picture of account health, is influenced by emotion and often arrives too late for teams to act. The consequence is surprise churn, which is preventable but nearly impossible to see with traditional systems. In one recent example from a customer, their account lead told them a customer appeared happy, the relationship was strong, and they forecasted a safe renewal. Telemetry told a different story: no product expansion, declining usage, stagnating adoption. Thirty days before renewal, they churned. The financial and operational shockwaves were immediate. The reality is, no matter how strong the relationship, the CS leader or the signals from CRM, you're placing bets on unreliable data. ## What's the Role of Telemetry in Predictive Intelligence? Telemetry changes the visibility equation by grounding predictions in objective customer behavior on a product. It can provide 80% of the signal that human-generated data can't because it reveals how people actually interact with software. Not on an account basis but across an entire customer base during their customer journey. ## Why Doesn't Everyone Use Telemetry Data? The reality is that telemetry is not text and it's a lot of data. So a LLM can't understand what it is looking at and CRMs can't ingest it because it doesn't map to fields. More importantly, marrying telemetry to CRM data takes experience and expertise and you still have to translate what you find into comprehensible intelligence for GTM teams. ## What is the Role of Forward Deployed Engineers? Forward deployed engineers translate telemetry into explainable models tailored to each customer's business context. They help GTM leaders understand: Why an account is failing to adopt, What behaviors separate growing customers from stagnant ones and Which actions will change forecast outcomes. This helps CROs set strategy, CPOs sharpen product and CMOs enrich customer journeys. ## What Makes QuadSci Different?

The Impact Starts Fast" url: https://quadsci.ai/blog/surprise-churn date_published: 2025-11-21 category: Insight author: QuadSci Team --- How predictive AI powered by telemetry data transforms forecast accuracy and prevents unexpected churn. Forecast accuracy sits at the center of every revenue organization. It shapes investment decisions and board conversations. It influences hiring plans, operating budgets, and overall company health. When a forecast holds steady, the entire business feels more confident. When it collapses, everything becomes harder. This is why surprise churn has such a devastating effect on revenue plans. It does not just remove dollars from the renewal column. It removes stability from the entire operating rhythm of the company. Surprise churn happens when a customer that appears healthy informs the team that they will not renew. This often comes late in the cycle and with very little warning. Even strong customer relationships can shift quickly when usage declines or internal business priorities change. When value is unclear, the risk increases sharply, even if a relationship feels strong. ## What Does Surprise Churn Do to an Organization? The revenue impact is immediate. A single unexpected renewal loss forces revenue teams to scramble. Forecasts must be rebuilt. Pipeline must be rebalanced. New business targets suddenly feel unreachable. The board begins asking harder questions about predictability. The CRO has to shift from steering strategy to explaining what went wrong. The operational cost of one surprise renewal can cascade for months. "When you miss the number, it's not just about explaining it to the board. It's about the sales reps you can't hire, the territories you can't expand, and the strategic bets you can't make because you didn't see it coming." — Kevin Knieriem, President of Clari A recent internal example illustrates this clearly. For more than a year, QuadSci's AIs revealed signals that an enterprise account was drifting away. Usage had not grown. Executive engagement had faded. Buying committees were quiet. Product adoption patterns never crossed the thresholds that indicate a healthy renewal. Yet the internal relationship appeared positive. The customer was friendly. Calls were pleasant. The team believed the renewal was safe. Thirty days before the renewal, the customer chose not to renew. The impact is on both sides of the deal. A renewal is a financial and operational decision. When value is not clear inside the customer organization, or when the product is not deeply embedded, a renewal becomes difficult to justify, even with strong personal relationships. No CFO wants to cut useful tools. They simply need to support decisions that reflect usage, adoption, and business outcomes. When the champion can't tell that story or demonstrate the value, they suffer too. ## AI Agents Powered by Telemetry Data The important learning here is not that anything was done incorrectly. The lesson is that people are limited by what they can see. Humans interpret signals through the lens of relationships, emotions, and the most recent interactions. AI sees something different. It sees patterns of behavior that unfold over years, marries that to usage trends and CRM data to paint an objective picture of each account. The result is more nuanced and more accurate than a health score. AI reveals when usage is shallow or when a champion has lost influence. It reveals when a buying committee has disengaged long before the team becomes aware of the shift. This is where predictive AI changes everything. It provides clear visibility months before risk signals appear in dashboards, on calls or in email. Telemetry data highlights declining adoption trends, shows when an account is not expanding into new teams and surfaces early shifts in executive engagement. Leveraging telemetry early and often gives revenue leaders time to understand what is happening and to respond in a thoughtful way. Forecast accuracy improves when the organization moves from reaction to foresight. A CRO can only steer the business when they have a clear view of the road ahead. Predictive telemetry makes that possible by turning uncertainty into insight. It replaces surprise with understanding. It creates time and space for thoughtful conversations with customers. It brings stability back to the revenue engine. --- content_type: blog_post title: "How Clari Used AI to Predict Churn and Uncover Growth Opportunities" url: https://quadsci.ai/blog/clari-customer-story date_published: 2025-11-18 category: Customer Story author: QuadSci Team --- A conversation with Kevin Knieriem, President of Clari, on the Sound Bites Podcast with Bill Binch When Clari set out to tackle customer churn, they didn't expect to also uncover new avenues for growth. In a recent episode of Sound Bites with Battery Ventures' Bill Binch, Clari President Kevin Knieriem shared how his team, working with QuadSci, used AI and telemetry data to predict churn with unprecedented accuracy—and in the process, revealed hidden growth signals. ## The Challenge: Seeing Beyond Traditional Health Scores Every SaaS business wrestles with customer retention. Traditional tools like health scores and relationship trackers can only show a snapshot in time and often surface false positives. Clari wanted to go deeper, identifying leading indicators that could forecast customer contraction or churn up to a year in advance. "We wanted to get ahead of it. Not just a quarter out—but four or eight quarters ahead." — Kevin Knieriem ## The Solution: Partnering with QuadSci for Predictive Insights To make that vision real, Clari partnered with QuadSci, which ingested more than 6 billion telemetry signals from Clari's post-sale systems, customer success data, contracts, and usage analytics. QuadSci built a custom data science model that could detect subtle behavioral shifts in how customers used Clari's platform. From there, Clari integrated those predictive signals directly into its own systems and blended them seamlessly into its renewal and account management workflows. "It gave our teams relevant, forward-looking data. Signals that showed us where to focus." — Kevin Knieriem ## The Outcomes: Accuracy, Growth, and Time to Act The results were transformative. The model was: - 94% accurate in predicting churn 12 months in advance - 90% accurate in predicting growth opportunities - Able to pinpoint 80% of contractions six months ahead More, some of the most valuable insights were counterintuitive. For example, a drop in support cases sometimes indicated customer disengagement, a pattern that traditional metrics would have missed. "While we were looking for potential churn, we actually found growth signals. And that was just as important." — Kevin Knieriem These insights gave Clari's customer success and account management teams time to act, folding the intelligence into their 13-week business cadence. With constantly refreshed data, they could stay ahead of risk and capitalize on emerging opportunities. ## The Broader Impact: Product and Process Intelligence Beyond retention, Clari's product team gained valuable feedback loops. The model highlighted which workflows performed well and which needed refinement, informing product improvements and future roadmap priorities. "It's been a great partnership. One that we're going to continue." — Kevin Knieriem ## The Power of the Partnership This collaboration between Clari and QuadSci demonstrates what's possible when AI-driven predictive modeling meets operational execution. By connecting the dots across billions of data points, Clari not only reduced churn risk but also unlocked a new lens for growth, innovation, and customer understanding. --- content_type: blog_post title: "Reflections from BayLearn 2025: A Day of Machine Learning Insights and Inspiration" url: https://quadsci.ai/blog/baylearn-2025 date_published: 2025-11-04 category: Culture & Product author: Madhuri Pujari, DataML Engineer --- Exploring the Future of AI with Leading Minds in the Field I had the chance to attend BayLearn - Machine Learning Symposium, hosted at Santa Clara University on Oct 16th. My work at QuadSci as a DataML Engineer often focuses on core ML techniques and LLMs, so seeing how those foundations connect to new frontiers in AI was both grounding and inspiring. ## A Day Packed with Ideas From the very start, the energy inside the Locatelli Center at Santa Clara University was contagious - researchers, practitioners, and students all buzzing with ideas. It was inspiring to see how many perspectives and applications of machine learning came together in one place. A few sessions stood out to me in particular: ## Keynote #1 – Christopher Manning (Stanford): "The Surprising Victory of NLP" Manning's talk was both humbling and insightful. He traced the journey from symbolic AI to modern transformers, showing how decades of linguistic and philosophical work laid the foundation for today's breakthroughs. It reminded me how critical strong fundamentals are, the kind we rely on every day at QuadSci when building interpretable, data-driven ML systems. On a personal note, Christopher Manning's lectures were a big part of my learning journey during my master's back in the pre-ChatGPT era. His videos were my go-to whenever I needed clarity, and I must've replayed them countless times. ## Keynote #2 – Bryan Catanzaro (NVIDIA): "Nemotron: Building an Open and Accelerated Future" This was an inspiring look at the open ecosystem NVIDIA is enabling for large model development, blending open-source collaboration with scalable compute. It highlighted how openness and accessibility are becoming central to innovation in AI. ## Panel Discussion – Agentic AI A lively session featuring voices from Google DeepMind, NVIDIA, and Stanford, exploring how "agentic systems" are changing the way we think about autonomy and human-AI interaction. The takeaway was that the next frontier isn't just smarter AI, but responsible autonomy designing systems that can act, reason, and adapt while staying aligned with human and organizational goals. ## Evolving Foundations: How LLMs Are Strengthening Traditional ML While much of the buzz centered around LLMs and agentic systems, core ML techniques continue to underpin most real-world AI applications. What's changing now is how LLMs are beginning to enhance these existing workflows rather than replace them. BayLearn 2025 reinforced that AI's future isn't about replacing old methods with new ones, it's about layering innovation on top of solid foundations. --- content_type: blog_post title: "Telemetry Over Talk: How AI Predicts Churn and Unlocks Growth" url: https://quadsci.ai/blog/telemetry-over-talk date_published: 2025-10-29 category: Research & Product author: QuadSci Team --- Analysis of 9,100 SaaS accounts reveals 80% of commercial outcomes are predicted by product usage, not CRM sentiment It's a familiar scenario: the quarter is closing, leadership wants a clear picture of revenue, and it's time to scrutinize the pipeline. What happens next is a mix of spreadsheets, long meetings, anecdotes, and messy CRM data — all with the goal of providing clarity for leadership, investors, and advisory boards. For years, this was the only way to piece together a picture of revenue health. But there's a canyon between a "great meeting" and the CFO's renewal forecast, between optimistic health scores and actual product usage, and between a champion's enthusiasm and their ability to articulate value to leadership. Today, buying decisions are centralized and often removed from daily product experience. If companies want to retain and grow accounts, they need to arm their champions with usage data that clearly connects product behavior to business value. ## The Data Behind the Strategy That's the foundation of the new study from SBI, The Growth Advisory, in partnership with QuadSci. The analysis of 9,100 SaaS accounts and 160 billion telemetry data points found that 80% of commercial outcomes are predicted by product usage. Not customer stories. Not gut feel. Product usage. The strongest indicator of retention and growth isn't what your CRM says — it's how your customers behave. Across the industry, few teams are equipped to capitalize on that data to align CSMs and account executives around the same customer reality. The result: missed forecasts and preventable churn. ## Gut Check Most forecasts are stitched together from anecdotes and lagging indicators. That makes them reactive, not predictive. By the time pipeline health looks off or renewals soften, it's already too late to course-correct. Retention has quietly become the defining metric for SaaS valuation, yet many teams still can't explain why some customers expand while others churn. "Growth doesn't hinge on luck or loyalty. It hinges on understanding signals." — Michael Hoffman, SBI Growth Advisory ## From Intuition to AI-Driven Intelligence Declining NRR isn't a sales problem. It's a data problem. Traditional forecasting frameworks look at revenue through a static lens — past performance, renewal history, or self-reported health scores — while customer reality shifts daily. That's where QuadSci's AI-driven revenue intelligence changes the equation. By turning product usage, engagement, and sentiment data into actionable predictions, QuadSci enables GTM teams to detect early warning signs and growth opportunities months in advance. ## 90% Accuracy, 12 Months in Advance In our work with enterprise SaaS companies, QuadSci predicts churn or expansion up to 12 months in advance with 90% accuracy. We run blind tests on customer data, training our Growth AI agent on 80% of telemetry while holding back 20% for validation, ensuring consistent predictive performance over time. The result is a clear, early view at the account level — identifying churn risk and expansion potential based on actual usage patterns across every user. GTM teams can re-engage at-risk accounts before it's too late and guide healthy customers toward the features that will create new value and expansion in the future. --- content_type: blog_post title: "Back from CDMX: QChat, Connection, and a Growing Team" url: https://quadsci.ai/blog/back-from-cdmx date_published: 2025-05-22 category: Company Updates author: QuadSci Team --- Highlights from our Mexico City experience and team growth.
