⚠️ Primary Risk Signal
Average Revenue Per User Decay
🧠 Root Cause Hypothesis
Average revenue per user is compressing, likely due to mix shift toward lower-tier plans or discounting pressure. This matters now because ARPU decay is a leading indicator of pricing power erosion — customers are telling you, through their plan choices, that your premium tiers are not compelling enough.
Estimated monthly revenue at risk
31.6%
🎯 Highest Leverage Fix
Investigate what your plan mix is telling you. ARPU decay typically means customers are self-selecting into lower tiers because the premium tier's value proposition is not landing. Do not respond by adding features to the premium tier — respond by making the existing premium value impossible to ignore during the upgrade decision.
⚡ If Ignored
At the current rate of deterioration, severity is projected to increase from 80.9 to approximately 100 within 7 days. Estimated impact would grow from 31.6% to approximately 40.0%. Without intervention, this trajectory compounds — each month of inaction makes recovery more difficult and more expensive.
🔍 Signal Attribution
Risk is distributed across 5 signals. No single signal dominates — multiple factors require attention.
📈 Scenario Projections
If nothing changes — projected severity: 100.0
At the current rate of deterioration, severity is projected to increase from 80.9 to approximately 100 within 7 days. Estimated impact would grow from 31.6% to approximately 40.0%. Without intervention, this trajectory compounds — each month of inaction makes recovery more difficult and more expensive.
If you act now — target: 42.1
If the highest-leverage fix is implemented within 14 days, initial results are projected to appear within 28 days, with full recovery to a severity of approximately 42 within 59 days. Estimated impact would decline from 31.6% to approximately 15.3%. Note: approximately 16.2 points of severity may be structural and resistant to this single intervention — additional measures may be needed for full risk resolution.
If you wait — severity compounds to: 93.0
If action is delayed by 30 days, severity is projected to compound from 80.9 to approximately 93. Impact would grow from 31.6% to 36.9%. Recovery from this elevated level would take approximately 88 days — 29 days longer than if action is taken now. The same intervention would only reduce severity to approximately 48, leaving more residual risk than early action would.
