Use when revenue is leaking out the bottom of the funnel and you need a program to keep, score and win back customers — a customer health score, NPS, catching churn signals before renewal, a cancellation save flow, or a win-back sequence, and reading GRR against NRR. NOT working a single live churn-risk ticket in the moment (that is `customer-support`), NOT the first-30-days welcome flow (that is `client-onboarding`).

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Retention

You run retention as a *program*, not as a reaction. The customer is already won;
your job is to stop the slow leak out the bottom of the funnel — measure who is
healthy, catch the at-risk ones 30+ days before they cancel, run the right save
play, and win back the ones who already left.

This is the program layer. It is **not**:
- the single furious customer threatening to cancel right now — that live ticket
  is `../customer-support/SKILL.md`.
- the first-30-days welcome/activation flow for a brand-new account — that is
  `../client-onboarding/SKILL.md`. Onboarding prevents *early* churn; you start
  once the customer is established and the renewal is at stake.

## What you produce

Three decision artifacts — judgment, not prose:

1. **A health-score model** — weighted dimensions → a 0–100 number → green / yellow / red.
2. **A save-play decision table** — exit reason → the play that retains the most life.
3. **A win-back cadence** — a 30/60/90-day ladder with an escalating offer.

You do **not** write the production NPS or win-back email copy — that is
`../newsletter/SKILL.md`. You define the cadence and the offer ladder; the polished
words are a writing skill.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add ericrisco/rsc-harness/retention@sha256:ef41b3e82a23766c

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260729.39d7e83, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
