Reason through the renewal strategy for the account in {renewal_context}, since the renewal is won or lost in the months before it, not at the negotiation. (1) Assess the account's actual health, not its stated satisfaction: usage, the value realized against what was promised, and the strength of relationships — because a renewal conversation that starts when the contract nears expiry is already behind, and the health signals reveal the real risk while there's time to act. (2) Determine whether the customer is achieving the outcome they bought, since renewals turn on delivered value, and a happy relationship with a product that isn't producing results is more fragile than it looks. (3) Identify the renewal risks early: a champion who left, a budget under pressure, a competitor circling, or eroding usage — each needs a different response, and a generic renewal push ignores which one applies. (4) Distinguish the renewal that should be a straightforward continuation from the one that needs value re-established first, and the expansion opportunity from the retention fight — treating an at-risk account like an expansion, or vice versa, misfires. (5) Consider the pricing and terms realistically: what increase the delivered value supports versus what the alternatives and switching costs allow. (6) State the renewal approach, the primary risk, and the action to take now rather than at renewal time — recognizing that the best renewal strategy is the value delivered across the whole term.
