The work, today.

Expansion happens when an AE happens to notice. Your best reps do this well and cannot explain how; everyone else waits for the customer to ask, which means you find out at the point the customer has already priced an alternative.

Where the Scan startsWith usage data, entitlement gaps and what your AEs already expand on manually.

What the system is.

Four lines, the same four on every system we build. Where they fall is what makes this one different from the last one.

Usage against entitlement — who is at the ceiling of what they bought
Feature adoption, and which features precede an upgrade
Seat growth and new departments appearing in the account
Support questions that are really feature requests
01

What it reads

The signals it works from. Typically connects to Product analytics, Entitlement or billing and CRM.

01Which accounts are behaving like they are ready
02What specifically to expand into, based on what they are hitting
03When the moment is — early enough to matter, late enough to be real
04What the business case for this account actually looks like
02

What it decides

The calls it makes on its own, unattended, every time it runs.

An expansion opportunity in CRM with the usage evidence attached
A one-page case the AE can take to the customer
A prompt at the moment the pattern appears, not at quarter end

What it writes back

Into the tools the work already lives in.

04

Where the human stays

The AE owns the conversation and the number. The system's job is to make sure they are never the last to know that an account outgrew its plan.

How we set it up.

The same four legs as every CRFT engagement — written for this system rather than in general.

  1. 01
    Scan48 hrs · evidence before scope

    We shadow the reps who are already good at this. Their instinct is a set of rules they have never written down, and writing it down is most of the build.

  2. 02
    Scope1 week · the report is the scope

    Scope is set by how cleanly entitlement is modeled. If what a customer bought is legible in one system, this is fast; if it is spread across contracts, that is the first piece of work.

  3. 03
    Build4–10 wks · production, not a pilot

    The evidence page matters more than the score. An AE will not act on a number they cannot explain to a customer.

  4. 04
    Compoundongoing · it reports, then improves

    Which cases closed teaches it which evidence persuades. The pitch improves, not just the targeting.

What we hold it to

Expansion pipeline created from system-flagged accounts, and whether those deals close at a better rate than rep-sourced ones.
