/0.3Modern Friction

Finally. AI at scale designed to see and fix what every Customer in your base is experiencing.

For the CEO and CMO: which Customers are quietly leaving, what that is worth in lifetime value, and the fixes ranked by money at risk.

Aggregate signals tell you something is wrong. Friction shows what each Customer experienced, correlated with the outcome it produced, with the prescribed action and the measured result.

Every Customer. Every experience. Ranked by money at risk.

What you get firstA scoping conversation · Partner setup · Findings Customer 1 to 1

A narrative is not a finding.

01The standard

Aggregate scores. NPS dropped. Contact volume spiked. One number, no diagnosis, no Customers behind it.

Surveys. A fraction of your Customers, weeks after the experience.

A plausible story. AI given Customer data returns a narrative. It cannot name who, what it cost, or what to fix first.

Customers do not complain. They downgrade, renew for less, and leave months later.

02What a finding contains

Not "support friction drives churn." The Customers, the pattern, the cost, and the fix.

Where to act, what to do, and what changed.

07Where it sits

The layer your CX stack is missing.

Versus CX platforms

Report aggregate signals. Friction reports at the Customer 1 to 1 level.

Versus Customer success platforms

Score health from one or two surfaces. Friction joins Support, billing, product, AI agent, and renewal.

Versus Survey tools

Sample a fraction of your base. Friction reads every Customer, in the period the friction happens.

Versus CDP plus CX stack

Unifies identity and signals. Friction joins friction patterns to lifetime value outcomes.
