Lifecycle stage cleanup for renewals, ownership, and reporting

Clean up the lifecycle logic that tells teams where each customer really is, who owns the next motion, and which reports can be trusted.

Lifecycle stages need to match how the business actually works

Lifecycle stages are often added over time by different teams. The result is a CRM that looks configured but does not clearly show onboarding, adoption, renewal, expansion, risk, or ownership.

  • Stage names are unclear, duplicated, or used differently by each team
  • Renewal and expansion motions are disconnected from account ownership
  • Customer handoffs depend on tribal knowledge instead of system logic
  • Reports cannot explain where customers are in the lifecycle or why
