What is managed expansion and retention?

Managed expansion and retention is a MatrixLabX service in which a named operator runs PrescientIQ's Steward and Herald workers on your customer base. Steward surfaces upsell and churn-risk signals from usage, and your operator turns them into prioritized plays for the account owners who make the decisions.

Does Steward contact customers on its own?

No. In MatrixLabX managed expansion and retention, Steward prepares plays and Herald drafts any customer-facing message, and every draft is held in the PrescientIQ approval queue. Your MatrixLabX operator pre-reviews it, and a named person on your team approves it before it sends.

Who decides on discounts, escalations, and renewals?

Your team does. In MatrixLabX managed expansion and retention, PrescientIQ's Steward surfaces the signal and your operator prepares the play, but every decision about pricing, escalation, or whether to let an account go stays with your CSMs and account owners.

What data does Steward need?

PrescientIQ's Steward reads post-sale usage, seat utilization, and feature adoption for each customer account, plus account records in Salesforce or HubSpot. Your MatrixLabX operator confirms which usage data your product already sends during the free Autonomous Audit Report.

How much does managed expansion and retention cost?

MatrixLabX managed expansion and retention is included in Pipeline Crew at $8,999 a month as its one motion lane, and in every Revenue Crew and Revenue Command plan. Each price is the published PrescientIQ platform fee plus a managed-service fee, with no seats and an exit right at day 90.
