Cancellation Flow Validator
Check your cancellation flow against retention best practice — survey, retention offer, pause option, and confirmation step.
About this validator
How a cancellation flow is built shapes both how many customers you keep and how much you learn from the ones who leave. A flow with no survey, no alternative offer, and immediate data loss maximizes churn and minimizes learning at the same time.
This validator checks your cancellation flow against retention best practice.
Frequently Asked Questions
How is this different from the Churn & Retention Risk Audit?
The audit scores your entire retention setup across many dimensions. This validator checks the cancellation flow specifically — the exact moment a customer decides to leave — with an automatic verdict, in under a minute.
Does adding friction to cancellation actually help retention?
A single confirmation step and a genuine alternative offer (pause, discount) meaningfully help without feeling manipulative. Excessive friction — hidden cancel buttons, required phone calls — tends to damage trust and generate negative reviews more than it saves revenue.
