Week 3. Jamie Kim hasn't responded to training invites. The AI catches it before the next check-in.

It calculates the downstream impact, identifies who's responsible, and has a draft message ready. The onboarding manager doesn't need to notice, the AI already has.

On the surface, Acme Corp looks fine. Under the surface, David Kim is shifting.

In the last four calls, David Kim has stopped asking about the roadmap. He's using past tense. The sentiment agent catches this 44 days before any health score would move.

The QBR deck is ready before Evan opens his calendar. And while it was building, something else was noticed.

8 of 10 seats at 90% daily usage, three weeks running. That's an expansion signal. Flagged to Evan automatically.
