AI can draft renewal-risk memos 90 days before contract end, naming risk drivers, save plays with cost, and the trade-off between save and walk-away.
What AI does well here
Aggregate usage, ticket, and NPS data into a 1-page risk score with drivers.
Generate 3 save-play options with estimated cost, probability, and downstream precedent risk.
What AI cannot do
Read whether the executive sponsor at the customer is still in their job.
Decide how much precedent risk a discount sets for the rest of the book.
