Customer Health Score

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

1. Validate against actual outcomes — Back-test your model against historical churn data
2. Refresh regularly — Daily or weekly scoring catches trends early
3. Make it actionable — Every score should trigger a specific playbook
4. Avoid vanity inputs — Only include metrics that correlate with retention
