Signals arrive too late
Health scores go red the quarter before renewal, well past the point where you could have turned the account around.
Customer Success Platform
Penumbrai reads your product, support, and billing data for the earliest signs of churn and expansion, then runs the playbooks to act on them. Your team catches risk months sooner and moves on it while it can still change the outcome.

The thesis why we built it
By the time a health score turns red, the renewal is usually already lost. The signals that matter show up months earlier, and they're quiet. Penumbrai finds them and puts them in front of the person who can still act.
Built for customer success teams who own the number
The problem
Health scores go red the quarter before renewal, well past the point where you could have turned the account around.
Every team defines success differently. Rigid schemas make you reshape your business to fit the tool instead.
Dashboards point at the risk and hand the work to an already-stretched CSM. Most of it never gets done.
The platform
One platform for the whole post-sale motion: detect the signal, run the play, and forecast the number.
Signals
Penumbrai continuously scans product usage, support sentiment, billing health, and stakeholder changes, and flags an account the moment the pattern turns, not the quarter before renewal.
Playbooks
When a signal fires, the playbook runs: assign the owner, draft the outreach, book the check-in, open the risk review. Your team makes the calls; Penumbrai handles the coordination.
Renewals & Expansion
Every renewal and expansion in one pipeline, weighted by real account health instead of gut feel. See the quarter's exposure, the upside, and which accounts move the number.
Flexible data
Penumbrai adapts to your schema, not the other way around. Define the objects, fields, and relationships your business runs on, and your health scores, segments, and playbooks all build on top of them.
Data & integrations
Most platforms only read the tidy, structured half of your data. Just as much truth lives in the messy half: the tickets, the calls, the emails. Penumbrai reads both, and treats them as first-class.
Usage, ARR, seats, renewal dates, subscriptions, deployments — synced from your warehouse and CRM, or modeled as custom objects with no migration.
Support conversations, call transcripts, emails, QBR notes and NPS verbatims are enriched with sentiment, themes and a summary — then mapped to the right account.
Bi-directional sync and reverse-ETL push scores back out to the rest of your stack. 18 integrations and counting.
