• Surface commercial signals to Sales with useful context and customer insight
• Support renewal preparation by keeping account status, value, risks, and stakeholder

• Bring product feedback back to the business with enough context to be useful
• Keep internal account notes, actions, and risks accurate and current
• Escalate issues with judgement, urgency, and a clear view of customer impact
