The quietly unhappy account is scored, not just the loud one
Two hundred licences were bought four months ago, sixty are used weekly, and the sponsor has raised no concern and reports internally that the rollout is going well; your executive sponsor has left and the replacement, who came from a company using your main competitor, has ignored two introduction emails; a renewal is ninety days out after a year of mediocre adoption and one product issue raised twice and never resolved; the sales rep wants to present a new module next week to an account with a six-week-old open performance complaint. Twenty scenarios, each with four things a customer success manager actually does.
Options are scored on a 0–3 gradient with a documented reason for every score. Distractors are the comfortable moves: send the usage report and offer training, wait for the half-year review, hand the shortfall to the sales rep because it affects renewal value. Mapping the sixty active users against the rollout plan the sponsor signed off and taking her the gap scores full credit. Options that rely on a customer missing an auto-renewal deadline, sell capacity the customer demonstrably cannot absorb, or conceal an overpayment score zero even where they protect or increase revenue. The bank is original; no branded health-scoring or customer success methodology is used or implied.
Four competencies are banded separately — Adoption Signals and Usage Judgement, Early Risk Detection, Renewal Conversation and Timing, and Expansion versus Retention Judgement — because a manager who reads usage well may still open the renewal conversation at the wrong moment, or expand into an account that is about to leave. The AI-personalised narrative names the pattern across your 20 answers, the growth plan starts from the weakest competency, and the scenario review explains every option.
What you walk away with
One 0–100 score and band for hiring into roles where the book of business is the company's recurring revenue, so a head of customer success knows before the handover whether a candidate will see the quiet churn coming.
Adoption Signals, Early Risk Detection, Renewal Conversation and Timing, and Expansion versus Retention plotted together, so the manager who reads usage well and expands into a leaving account sees that shape at a glance.
Each competency returns a band with a coaching note, and the AI-personalised narrative describes the reflex your answers show — the training offer instead of the gap conversation, the renewal raised at ninety days with the issue still open, the shortfall handed to sales.
Steps from your weakest competency, then all 20 scenarios reviewed with the reasoning behind each option, including which options scored zero for relying on a missed auto-renewal or selling capacity the customer cannot absorb.

Frequently asked questions
The judgement a customer success manager, account manager or renewal specialist exercises over a book of recurring revenue: reading adoption against the plan the customer signed, detecting churn risk early — including the account that has raised no concern — choosing when and how to open the renewal conversation, and deciding whether an account is ready for expansion or needs retention first. Four competencies across 20 scenarios, for practitioners and the heads of customer success who hire them.
No. Options that rely on a customer missing an auto-renewal deadline, sell capacity the customer demonstrably cannot absorb, or conceal an overpayment score zero even where they protect or increase revenue. Each option is scored on a 0–3 gradient with a documented reason; options are length-matched and the best answer moves position. Offering training when the real issue is a rollout gap earns partial credit, and the rationale explains why.
Thirty-five minutes for 20 scenarios in one sitting. The report is immediate: an overall score with band against a 70 per cent pass mark, a radar and banded bars across the four competencies with coaching interpretations, an AI-personalised narrative of strengths and development areas, a growth plan built from your weakest competency, and a review of every scenario with the reasoning behind each option. Everything is included; there is nothing further to unlock.
At interview, describe an account with two hundred licences and sixty weekly users whose sponsor says all is well, and ask what the candidate does this week; compare it with their Adoption Signals band. For an existing team, read each manager's Early Risk Detection band beside the churn in their book that arrived without warning. The growth plan is the next quarter's development agenda; a retake after two quarters shows movement.
Yes. Companies and individuals are fictional, the product context is generic and the judgements — usage against plan, silence as a signal, renewal sequencing, expansion readiness — are the same in any subscription or contract-renewal business anywhere. No branded health-scoring framework is assumed. The assessment is priced in INR and USD, with the live price in both currencies shown on this page.
Foundation, core selling, specialist and sales-leadership bands — every one an original situational-judgement bank with weighted partial credit, a stated reason for every option, and ethics scored to zero on a mis-sell. Hire with the band that matches the role, or develop with the one that matches the gap.

Constructs are described generically - usage-to-plan comparison, leading indicators of disengagement, renewal sequencing, expansion readiness - and no proprietary or trademarked customer success, health-scoring or sales methodology is used, referenced or implied. Companies and individuals in the scenarios are fictional and the product context is deliberately generic. Options that rely on a customer's unawareness of contract terms, that sell capacity the customer demonstrably cannot absorb, or that conceal an overpayment are keyed to zero even where they protect or increase revenue.
