Summary

  • Some users start slow—and stay slow. This play catches accounts with weak early engagement and proactively nudges them toward activation before the window closes.

Why this works

  • Detects churn risk before it becomes permanent

  • Aligns outreach with low-engagement patterns

  • Offers fast, relevant actions that reconnect users to value

Goal

(1) For the reader

Spot and support early customers with low engagement signals.

(2) For the company

Reduces early churn risk, boosts activation, and saves high-potential accounts from fading out.
