What it does

Identifies accounts on a trial or starter plan that are already using the product harder than a typical paying customer, surfacing them as early-expansion candidates ripe for a tier conversation before they even ask.

When to use it

Use this when you want to catch overperforming low-tier accounts that are clearly outgrowing their plan. Ideal for PLG teams that track usage benchmarks in Snowflake and coordinate plays in a Coda doc.

How it works

  1. 1A daily schedule starts the run.
  2. 2A Snowflake query compares each trial/starter account's key usage metrics against the median for paid accounts.
  3. 3A logic step keeps accounts exceeding the paid median on two or more metrics.
  4. 4A Coda step appends an early-expansion signal row with the metric-by-metric comparison as proof points.
  5. 5A Slack step notifies the assigned AE with the benchmark gap and a suggested upgrade ask.
