Figure 1The customer health scoring signal matrix
| Signal category | Telemetry metric | Predictive relevance | Operational failure if omitted |
|---|---|---|---|
| Breadth of adoption | % active seats used weekly | Early indicator of license rightsizing | Contraction occurs unexpectedly at renewal |
| Depth of utilization | Execution of core value workflows | Confirms real business dependency | High login count disguises zero value realization |
| Contact resilience | Number of verified stakeholder roles | Defense against organizational champion turnover | Account defects when primary champion resigns |
| Service friction | Ratio of unresolved blocking tickets | Measures operational frustration | Silent churn occurs without explicit complaint |
| Commercial hygiene | Invoice payment speed and compliance | Reflects economic health and buyer intent | Financial distress surfaces too late for remediation |
