Fixed-price sprint · Detailed proposal and timeline after the kickoff call

We build in-app messages that save customers before they cancel.

You get a complete system: we find the warning signs in your app, build the messages, and track how many customers they save.

CUSTOMER SUCCESS

A user hasn't logged in for 30 days

They get a friendly in-app checklist showing them the next step. This re-engages them before they forget why they signed up, turning a cold lead back into an active user.

PRODUCT TEAM

A user tries a key feature once and never again

A tooltip appears next time they log in, offering a quick tutorial. This helps them get value from the feature, which makes them more likely to keep their subscription.

SALES MANAGER

A free trial user is about to expire

A modal pops up with a special offer to upgrade. This catches them at the perfect moment to convert, turning uncertain users into paying customers.

SUPPORT TEAM

A user submits a ticket about a confusing page

Everyone who visits that page now sees a helpful banner explaining it. This prevents more support tickets and makes the product easier for everyone to use.

THE PATTERN

The signal is in your data. Nothing happens with it.

“We can see accounts disengaging weeks before they cancel. Login frequency drops, feature adoption falls off, session length shortens. But the only response is a manual CS outreach that comes too late — if it comes at all.”

Head of Customer Success — B2B SaaS

CS finds out at renewal, not at the moment of disengagement.

“By the time an at-risk account reaches our CS team, they’ve been quiet for six weeks. We get the churn report forwarded from analytics. The decision is already made. There’s nothing to save.”

VP Product — Series B SaaS

Chameleon is live for onboarding. Nothing is built for retention.

“We spent three months getting Chameleon working for activation. It’s been sitting there ever since. Nobody has built a single flow targeting at-risk accounts because nobody owns it and nobody knows where to start.”

Product Manager — B2B SaaS

THE DELIVERABLES

Seventeen deliverables. At-risk users see the right in-product intervention before CS is already late.

Days 1–3 · Audit
Churn Signal Audit & Validated Signals

We separate real churn signals from normal product noise. Login drops, feature abandonment, support spikes, failed activation steps, and renewal timing are checked against your own cancellation history. You leave with typically between 3 and 6 validated signals depending on what your data can prove.

  • Churn history, usage data, Chameleon data, and support context reviewed together
  • Thresholds defined only where your data supports the signal
  • Signals with weak evidence flagged instead of turned into fake precision
Days 1–3 · Design
Behavioural Trigger Map

This is the operating map for the whole system: which behaviour fires which flow, who sees it, who is excluded, and when CS should be alerted instead. It prevents the classic Chameleon failure mode where flows exist, but nobody trusts the targeting logic.

  • Signal-to-flow mapping for every approved intervention
  • Audience rules, exclusions, escalation paths, and fallback behaviour documented before build
  • A clear handoff artifact your team can extend after the sprint
Days 4–7 · Build
Live Chameleon Flows with Copy

These are not wireframes that your team has to build later. The flows are written, configured, and deployed inside Chameleon. Most engagements produce between 3 and 6 live interventions depending on your churn signals and account volume.

  • Tooltips, modals, banners, or checklists selected based on the user situation
  • Copy written for the specific risk signal, not generic re-engagement language
  • Flow QA completed against real user states before launch
Days 4–7 · Targeting
Targeting Logic, Frequency Caps & Analytics

At-risk users should not be spammed just because multiple signals fire. The targeting rules define who sees what, how often, in what order, and what success looks like per flow. Your team can inspect the system instead of guessing what Chameleon is doing.

  • Audience rules, display conditions, and suppression logic configured inside Chameleon
  • Frequency caps to prevent over-messaging at-risk accounts
  • Per-flow analytics so weak interventions are visible after launch
Days 8–10 · Documentation
Flow Architecture, Copy Library & Admin Training

Your team gets the logic, copy, and admin steps in a form they can actually use later. If a new churn signal appears next quarter, they are not starting from a blank Chameleon account or reverse-engineering someone else’s setup.

  • Flow architecture diagram showing triggers, audiences, exclusions, and escalation paths
  • Copy library with every modal, banner, tooltip, checklist, and fallback message
  • Admin training so your team knows how to pause, edit, duplicate, and extend flows
Days 9–10 · Optimisation
30-Day Monitoring, Review & Support

The sprint does not end with unmonitored flows sitting in Chameleon. We track early performance, review what moved and what did not, and make one round of optimisation recommendations after the first month of data. Direct support is included while your team takes ownership.

  • Performance monitoring focused on the churn signal each flow is meant to change
  • Day 30 optimisation review with specific recommendations
  • Direct support for questions, handoff, and early implementation issues

Everything above for $2,997. No hourly billing. No scope creep. Everything stays with your team.

THE TIMELINE

A structured sprint from signal discovery to live intervention.

Phase 1

Days 1–3: Signal Audit & Trigger Map

Read-only access to your Chameleon account and analytics platform. Churn signals identified and validated against your cancellation data. Behavioural trigger map reviewed and approved before build work begins. No flows built until you sign off on the signal definitions.

Phase 2

Days 4–7: Design, Copy & Build

Flow designs and copy written for each signal. Flows built inside your Chameleon account with audience rules, display conditions, and frequency caps configured. Day 5 checkpoint: you review flows before final build and QA. Revisions incorporated before testing.

Phase 3

Days 8–10: QA, Launch & Handover

All flows tested against real user data. Performance tracking configured. Your sign-off. Flows go live. Trigger logic documentation and signal definitions handed over to your team. 30-day review date set.

FIT CHECK

B2B SaaS teams that can see churn signals in their data but have nothing built to act on them.

GOOD FIT
You have Chameleon or are actively evaluating it
Active instance · Evaluating the platform

You have Chameleon installed, or you are in the process of evaluating whether to adopt it. Your goal is to use it for proactive retention. You have product usage data and can see which accounts are disengaging before they cancel, but you lack a system to act on that insight.

  • Chameleon becomes a retention system, not just an onboarding tool
  • Flows built around signals that actually predict cancellation in your product
  • Trigger logic documented so your team can add flows independently after the sprint

You have a working proof-of-concept for in-app churn prevention — built and measured.

GOOD FIT
B2B SaaS with 200+ accounts and product usage data
Volume to validate signals · Data to find patterns

Your account base is large enough that churn signals appear consistently across cohorts. You have enough cancellations to validate which behavioural patterns actually predict churn in your product. You can measure whether the flows are working by looking at signal reduction 30 days after launch.

  • The gap between “we can see it in the data” and “we act on it in-product” closes
  • Accounts showing at-risk signals receive targeted nudges at the moment of disengagement
  • 30 days of data lets you see whether each flow is moving the signal it was built for

Churn signals become automated in-app interventions for the first time.

GOOD FIT
CS team finding out about churn too late
Reactive saves · Renewal-stage discovery

Your CS team is skilled but reactive. They find out about at-risk accounts through renewal conversations or churn reports, not at the moment the disengagement starts. The CS escalation flow in this sprint routes high-risk accounts to your team via an in-app trigger, weeks before the renewal conversation starts.

  • CS escalation fires when an account crosses the risk threshold — not at renewal
  • Your CS team receives the signal at the moment of disengagement, not after it completes
  • Intervention window expands from days to weeks

CS intercepts at-risk accounts before the decision to cancel is made.

Not a fit if: you do not have Chameleon and are not planning to adopt it — you need the platform to build on. You do not have product usage data to identify churn signals. Or your account volume is too low to reliably validate behavioural patterns against cancellation history.

I design and build these flows myself. The signal audit, the trigger map, the flow architecture, the copy, the targeting logic — one person doing the thinking and the build. You are not coordinating with a team.

Most in-app churn prevention fails at the same step: the flow triggers on a generic condition (inactivity for X days) rather than the specific behavioural pattern that predicts cancellation in that product. Getting the signal right is the work. The build inside Chameleon is fast once the signal is validated.

What I will not do:
  • Build flows on generic inactivity conditions when your data shows a more specific pattern
  • Write copy without understanding the exact situation the account is in when the flow fires
  • Ship any flow without testing trigger conditions against real user data first
  • Deliver signal definitions that are not validated against your actual cancellation history
What if you do not have Chameleon yet?
This sprint requires an active Chameleon account or a serious evaluation underway — the flows are built inside the platform. If you are still deciding whether Chameleon is right for your churn prevention goals, book a call first. I can advise on whether the platform fits your situation before you commit to it or to this sprint.

Questions.

Or book a call →
Do we need Chameleon already installed? +
You need either an active Chameleon account or to be seriously evaluating the platform. This sprint builds flows inside your existing account. If you do not have Chameleon yet and want to know whether it is right for churn prevention, book a call first — I can advise on whether the platform fits your situation before you commit to it or to this sprint.
How do you identify the right churn signals for our product? +
By looking at the behavioural differences between accounts that churned and accounts that retained, using your actual cancellation history. Churn signals are patterns that appear consistently in the weeks before cancellation in your specific product — not patterns imported from someone else’s churn model. Each signal gets validated against your data. If the data does not support a pattern, a flow does not get built around it.
What access do you need to run the sprint? +
Admin access to your Chameleon account. Read-only access to your analytics platform (PostHog, Mixpanel, Amplitude, or equivalent) to identify and validate signals. And access to your churn history — which accounts cancelled, when, and what the account looked like beforehand. All access can be revoked at any time. No write access to your product codebase is needed.
What if we do not have a churn model or defined risk scores? +
You do not need a churn model before starting. The signal audit builds signal definitions from your raw product usage data and cancellation history — that is part of what the sprint produces. If you have risk scores already defined, we validate them and build flows on top. If you do not, we define the signals from the data you have. The goal is validated triggers, not a pre-existing scoring system.
How do we know the flows are working after launch? +
Performance tracking is configured as part of the sprint. Each flow has a defined signal reduction metric — the specific behavioural change that shows the flow is moving the right indicator. At 30 days you have enough data to evaluate. If signals are not moving, I redesign the relevant flows at no additional cost.
Can we add more flows after the sprint ends? +
Yes. The handover documentation includes the signal definitions and trigger logic your team needs to build additional flows without external support. Most teams find that the first set of flows covers the majority of their at-risk account population. If you want additional flows built as part of a structured follow-on engagement, that can be scoped separately after you have seen the first set perform.

The signals are already in your data. This sprint puts something in front of those accounts before they leave.

A brief call is enough to confirm the sprint fits your Chameleon setup and account data.
