Customer-risk review system blueprint
This system combines product usage, support, commercial, relationship, billing, and payment signals into an explainable account-risk assessment. It prioritizes accounts for review, recommends the relevant playbook, and assigns a coordinated action owner while keeping retention decisions with the customer team.

Operating brief
What starts the system
A monitored customer signal changes or a scheduled portfolio risk review begins.

How the system works
1. Resolve customer identity and evaluate current signals against segment-specific risk definitions.
2. Explain the risk drivers, rank accounts, and select the appropriate review or intervention playbook.
3. Assign actions across success, sales, support, and finance and monitor resolution and signal change.
