ChurnZero and Gainsight built their platforms around product usage data. Login frequency, feature adoption, time-in-app. That model works when your product generates behavioral data.
Service businesses don't work that way. Your customers don't log into a product. They send emails, make phone calls, and submit support tickets. The risk signals are in those conversations, not in a usage dashboard.
RiskDetect was built from scratch for this reality. We analyze what customers actually say, detect specific threat patterns (BBB complaints, legal language, escalation behavior), and deliver actionable alerts in seconds.
Your customers interact through support channels, not a product. You need to catch escalation signals in emails and calls before they become BBB complaints. You want something running in minutes, not months.
You have a software product with meaningful usage data. You need journey mapping, in-app messaging, and usage-based health scores. You have a dedicated CS ops team.
You manage hundreds of enterprise accounts with complex journeys. You need a full CS platform with playbooks, success plans, and executive dashboards. You have budget for a 2-month implementation.
Paste any customer email or call transcript. RiskDetect will show you the risk signals that usage-based tools completely miss.
