README (SKILL.md)
Contract & Subscription Renewal Management
Systematic framework for managing contract renewals, reducing involuntary churn, and maximizing renewal revenue. Covers SaaS subscriptions, service agreements, vendor contracts, and client retainers.
When to Use
- Quarterly renewal pipeline review
- Building a renewal management process from scratch
- Reducing churn from missed or mishandled renewals
- Negotiating vendor contract renewals
- Forecasting renewal revenue
Renewal Pipeline Framework
120-Day Renewal Cadence
| Days Out | Action | Owner | Deliverable |
|---|---|---|---|
| 120 | Flag renewal in pipeline | Ops/CS | Renewal record created |
| 90 | Health check + usage review | CSM | Account health score |
| 60 | Renewal proposal drafted | Sales/CS | Pricing + terms doc |
| 45 | First outreach to customer | CSM | Meeting scheduled |
| 30 | Negotiation / upsell conversation | AE/CSM | Updated proposal |
| 14 | Final terms agreed | Legal/Sales | Contract ready |
| 7 | Signature reminder | Ops | DocuSign/PandaDoc sent |
| 0 | Renewal executed | Finance | Invoice generated |
| +7 | Post-renewal check-in | CSM | Confirmation + next QBR |
Account Health Score (Pre-Renewal)
Rate each dimension 1-5:
| Dimension | Weight | Indicators |
|---|---|---|
| Product Usage | 25% | DAU/MAU ratio, feature adoption, login frequency |
| Support Health | 20% | Ticket volume trend, CSAT, escalations |
| Relationship | 20% | Exec sponsor access, NPS, referral willingness |
| Business Impact | 20% | ROI documented, expansion potential, strategic fit |
| Payment History | 15% | On-time payments, disputes, credit terms |
Score interpretation:
- 4.0-5.0: Auto-renew candidate, push multi-year
- 3.0-3.9: Standard renewal, address gaps before proposal
- 2.0-2.9: At-risk — executive intervention needed
- Below 2.0: Churn likely — prepare save offer or graceful exit
Renewal Pricing Strategy
Price increase guidelines by segment:
| Segment | Safe Increase | Max Without Justification | Requires Business Case |
|---|---|---|---|
| Enterprise ($100K+) | 3-5% | 7% | 10%+ |
| Mid-Market ($25-100K) | 5-8% | 10% | 15%+ |
| SMB ($5-25K) | 8-12% | 15% | 20%+ |
| Self-Serve (\x3C$5K) | 10-15% | 20% | 25%+ |
Uplift justification framework:
- New features shipped since last renewal (list top 5)
- Usage growth (% increase in seats/API calls/storage)
- Market rate comparison (competitor pricing delta)
- Cost-of-switching calculation for customer
- ROI documentation (dollars saved or generated)
Vendor Renewal Negotiation (Buy-Side)
When YOUR contracts are up for renewal:
Pre-negotiation checklist:
- Pull actual usage data (are you using what you're paying for?)
- Get 2-3 competitive quotes (even if you plan to stay)
- Calculate cost per unit vs. market benchmarks
- Identify contract terms to improve (payment terms, SLA, data portability)
- Know your BATNA (best alternative to negotiated agreement)
Negotiation levers:
| Lever | Typical Discount | When to Use |
|---|---|---|
| Multi-year commit | 15-25% | When vendor is strategic and stable |
| Upfront annual payment | 10-15% | When cash flow allows |
| Case study / reference | 5-10% | When your brand has marketing value |
| Competitive threat | 10-20% | When credible alternatives exist |
| Volume commitment | 10-30% | When usage is growing predictably |
| Off-cycle renewal | 5-10% | When renewing outside vendor's fiscal year-end |
| Bundle consolidation | 15-25% | When vendor has multiple products you could adopt |
Renewal Revenue Forecasting
Forecast categories:
Committed Revenue = Signed renewals + auto-renewals with no churn signal
Probable Revenue = Health score 3.5+ with active engagement (weight: 85%)
At-Risk Revenue = Health score 2.0-3.4 or unresponsive (weight: 50%)
Churning Revenue = Health score \x3C2.0 or explicit cancellation intent (weight: 10%)
Forecast = Committed + (Probable × 0.85) + (At-Risk × 0.50) + (Churning × 0.10)
Monthly renewal dashboard metrics:
- Gross Renewal Rate (GRR): Target >90%
- Net Revenue Retention (NRR): Target >110%
- Renewal pipeline coverage: 3x minimum
- Average days to close renewal: Target \x3C30 from first outreach
- Price increase realization: % of proposed increases accepted
Involuntary Churn Prevention
Payment failures cause 20-40% of SaaS churn. Prevention framework:
| Trigger | Action | Timeline |
|---|---|---|
| Card expiring in 30 days | Email + in-app notification | Day -30 |
| First payment failure | Retry + email notification | Day 0 |
| Second failure | SMS + email + in-app banner | Day 3 |
| Third failure | Phone call from CS | Day 7 |
| Grace period warning | Final notice with deadline | Day 10 |
| Account suspension | Suspend with easy reactivation | Day 14 |
| Final cancellation | Data export + win-back offer | Day 30 |
Save Offers (Last Resort)
When a customer explicitly wants to cancel:
| Customer Reason | Save Offer | Success Rate |
|---|---|---|
| Too expensive | 20-30% discount for 3 months | 35-45% |
| Not using enough | Free onboarding session + usage plan | 25-35% |
| Switching to competitor | Feature roadmap preview + price match | 15-25% |
| Budget cuts | Downgrade to lower tier | 40-50% |
| Missing features | Beta access + feedback loop | 20-30% |
| Poor support experience | Dedicated CSM + SLA upgrade | 30-40% |
Renewal Automation Checklist
- Auto-renewal clause in all contracts (with opt-out notice period)
- CRM renewal pipeline with automated stage progression
- Email sequences triggered at 90/60/30/14/7 days
- Dunning flow for failed payments (3-4 retries over 14 days)

Usage Guidance
This skill is essentially a playbook (no code, no installs) and appears internally consistent with its purpose. Before installing or using it in an agent: 1) note the author/source is unknown—verify provenance or review any external links referenced in the README before clicking; 2) remember the playbook assumes access to product/finance/CRM data — only provide those data to an agent with appropriate least-privilege connectors and auditing; 3) treat suggested metrics/discounts as starting points, and get legal review for auto-renew clauses, pricing changes, or vendor contract edits; and 4) if you plan to automate actions (send emails, change CRM records, issue invoices) wire those automations through vetted integrations and limit the agent's write permissions so it cannot act on sensitive customer billing or legal settings without human approval.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: afrexai-renewal-management
Version: 1.0.0
The skill bundle consists entirely of documentation (`SKILL.md`, `README.md`) and metadata (`_meta.json`). There is no executable code present. The `SKILL.md` provides detailed business process instructions for contract and subscription renewal management, but contains no prompt injection attempts designed to subvert the AI agent for malicious purposes (e.g., data exfiltration, unauthorized command execution, or ignoring user instructions). External links in both markdown files point to `github.io` pages related to the 'AfrexAI' entity, appearing to be for additional resources or products, and do not show immediate signs of malicious intent or lead to suspicious domains.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
The name/description match the SKILL.md content: a renewal pipeline, health scoring, pricing guidance, negotiation playbook and checklists. The skill declares no binaries, env vars, or installs — which is proportionate for a documentation/playbook skill.
Instruction Scope
The SKILL.md contains procedural guidance, tables and checklists only; it does not instruct the agent to read local files, access credentials, call external endpoints, or exfiltrate data. No open-ended instructions grant broad discretionary access.
Install Mechanism
No install spec and no code files are present, so nothing will be written to disk or automatically executed during install — lowest-risk pattern for skill distribution.
Credentials
No environment variables, credentials, or config paths are requested. The guidance does reference operational data (usage, payment history) as content to evaluate, which is appropriate for the stated business purpose but requires user-supplied context when executed.
Persistence & Privilege
Skill is not forced on (always: false) and is user-invocable. It does not request persistent privileges or modify other skills or system-wide settings.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install afrexai-renewal-management - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/afrexai-renewal-management - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
