Why Green Health Scores Still Churn

Ninety percent of this company's enterprise accounts were flagged green. They still lost seven of them, and two million dollars in ARR with them.

Anika Zubair, founder of The Customer Success Pro, has led and built CS organizations at Karbon, inSided, and Griffin. This week she sits down with Adam Jay and Dale Zwizinski on the question most health scores never answer: are you measuring what your customer is doing with your product, or what it's actually doing for their business?

Anika breaks down why NPS is a vanity metric, how AI and vibe coding are compressing how long customers will wait for value, and the exact renewal she lost early in her career by being too nice instead of too commercial.

We discuss:

Why green health scores measure usage instead of outcomeWhat "value amnesia" is and why it has to be fought every conversationWhy AI and vibe coding are shrinking customer patience for time to valueThe renewal Anika lost by focusing on being liked instead of being usefulWhy NPS doesn't tell you anything about revenue risk
