Customer Health Score
A composite metric that aggregates product usage, engagement, support interactions, and sentiment data to indicate how likely a customer is to renew, expand, or churn.
What is a Customer Health Score?
A customer health score is a composite metric that combines multiple data points into a single indicator of account health. It helps CS teams quickly identify which customers are thriving, which need attention, and which are at risk of churning.
Components of a Health Score
Effective health scores typically include:
- Product usage — Login frequency, feature adoption, time in app
- Engagement — Email open rates, meeting attendance, NPS responses
- Support — Ticket volume, severity, resolution satisfaction
- Business outcomes — ROI achieved, goals met, value realized
- Relationship — Stakeholder changes, executive engagement, sentiment
Scoring Models
Simple traffic-light model
- Green (80-100): Healthy, likely to renew
- Yellow (50-79): Needs attention, moderate risk
- Red (0-49): At risk, immediate action required
Weighted composite model
Assign weights to each component based on correlation with renewal outcomes. For example: Usage (40%) + Engagement (25%) + Support (20%) + Outcomes (15%).
Best Practices
- Validate against actual outcomes — Back-test your model against historical churn data
- Refresh regularly — Daily or weekly scoring catches trends early
- Make it actionable — Every score should trigger a specific playbook
- Avoid vanity inputs — Only include metrics that correlate with retention
