Hypothetical play: implementation and packaging guidance for activated, strong-fit trial accounts.
Hypothesis and eligible unit
Who may benefit, what will change, and what customer or economic outcome should improve?
See the filled example
For strong-fit activated accounts, relevant assistance will increase 45-day paid conversion enough to cover assistance cost without harming self-service conversion or customer experience.
Fit, behavior, and event contract
Define account fit, value milestone, required properties, window, and rule version.
See the filled example
Verified B2B account match; workspace activated within 14 days; three active intended users and an observed premium need. Signal includes account, workspace, timestamp, reason, version, and source evidence.
Suppression and ownership
Who must not receive the action? Who receives unmatched, disputed, or existing-owner accounts?
See the filled example
Suppress paid customers, active opportunities, opt-outs, severe support incidents, tests, and unresolved identity. Existing owner first; otherwise the named segment queue.
Customer action and response time
What does the customer receive? Who acts, when, and through which channel?
See the filled example
Offer relevant implementation or packaging guidance within two business days. Keep self-service available. One action per account per pilot; review before requalification.
Comparison and measurement
Freeze eligibility before assignment. Specify the comparison, sample limits, formulas, and observation period.
See the filled example
Randomize eligible accounts where feasible. Compare 45-day paid conversion, retained gross profit, assistance cost, opt-outs, and support burden. Track 90-day adoption and retention separately.
Monitoring, review, and stop conditions
Who watches event quality, identity, routing, execution, and customer harm? When will a decision be made?
See the filled example
Review failures and responses weekly. Pause for incorrect account matching, duplicate outreach, or material negative customer response. Scale only after the cohort matures and the evidence supports it.
Before you act
- Qualification is not proof of buying intent.
- Count account outcomes, not user events, when the account is the decision unit.
- Verify delivery of the intervention before interpreting conversion.
- Do not declare success from meetings or early conversion alone.
