Signal volume is high and consistent across all four data sources — usage metrics, CRM notes, support history, and email sentiment all point in the same direction with no contradicting positive indicators, yielding strong confidence in the risk assessment.
Hartwell Industrial Manufacturing is in severe churn risk with renewal 90 days out and almost no meaningful engagement with the platform. Active usage has collapsed to a single user on 18 seats, logins dropped 65% in 30 days, and the primary contact Tom Greer has explicitly stated the team has 'lost confidence in the tool' and refused to enter renewal discussions until performance issues are resolved. A recurring pattern of technical failures — dashboard timeouts, import errors, truncated exports — combined with unresponsive outreach and a key IT migration distracting the champion creates a compounding crisis with very little time to reverse.
18 seats purchased but only 1 active — if adoption is recovered, upsell and seat utilization conversations could follow, but only after churn risk is resolved
Tom explicitly conditioned renewal on fixing recurring issues, deflected early renewal outreach in February, and the team has disengaged from the platform almost entirely
May 10 support ticket still open; Tom cited slow load times on reporting module in April CRM note; this is the same issue blocking board reporting flagged in March
Three unanswered outreach attempts over 6 weeks; last meaningful two-way communication was terse and negative on April 3
Only backup contact is Lisa Pavan who simply relayed Tom's availability; no other contacts referenced in CRM or email history
Four support tickets with negative sentiment in four months covering data exports, imports, admin panel, and dashboard performance; analysts reverting to spreadsheets per April CRM note
Escalate open dashboard timeout ticket (May 10) to engineering immediately and assign a dedicated engineer — do not wait for standard queue. Communicate a fix timeline to Tom within 48 hours even if Tom does not respond to outreach
Initiate VP-level or executive-to-executive outreach to Hartwell leadership, bypassing Tom Greer given his unavailability — as originally recommended by AE Daniel Kim in February. Frame around business impact and commitment to resolution
Identify and engage an alternative internal champion or economic buyer at Hartwell beyond Tom Greer — Lisa Pavan or a business-side stakeholder who owns the board reporting use case
Prepare a formal account recovery plan including: root cause summary of all four support issues, remediation steps taken, and a concrete product roadmap commitment addressing reporting performance — to be delivered in a scheduled call once executive contact is made
Once Tom Greer's plant migration concludes, schedule a structured business review with multiple Hartwell stakeholders to re-establish value and reintroduce unused features relevant to their workflows
Flag account internally for potential contract renegotiation or right-sizing if stabilization succeeds but full seat adoption is not recoverable — do not push for expansion until churn risk is resolved
