Concept — The Business Loop (Adjust → renewal)
The mechanism that converts each completed Applied Learning Cycle into a measurable renewal/expansion opportunity. Adjust loops back to Prepare — and the signal that travels along that loop-back arrow is the business model.
The open loop today vs. the closed loop in v3
| Today | After (v3) |
|---|---|
| Flows end at “engagement complete.” Completion is the last data point. | Every cycle ends with an Adjust phase that surfaces next-engagement signals. |
| No signal for renewal/expansion. | Next-engagement signal routed to LA → PM → HubSpot. |
| No visibility into at-risk cohorts mid-engagement. | PM pattern detection flags at-risk + high-perf automatically. |
| No case-study pipeline. | High-performing cohorts auto-captured for sales/marketing. |
| Value prop asserted, not evidenced. | Time-to-apply + repeat + mastery metrics defend pricing & renewals. |
The routing rule that matters most (§6.5)
Let the client see it first. When the IS surfaces a next-PD signal, route it to the LA dashboard before the Account Owner. This turns the LA into the internal champion for the renewal conversation. The PM → HubSpot handoff happens after the LA has expressed interest — not before.
Sequence: IS next-engagement signal → LA dashboard → (LA interest) → PM queue → HubSpot + Account Owner.
What flows where in Adjust
The IS’s cohort-gap signal fans out to three destinations:
- LA dashboard — so the LA can champion the renewal.
- PM queue — so renewal/expansion surfaces in HubSpot.
- Content Creator backlog — so new microlearning gets prioritized to the observed gaps.
At-risk vs. high-performing
- High-performing cohorts → auto-captured as case studies (sales/marketing asset).
- At-risk cohorts → flagged to IS + Account Owner for intervention.
HubSpot’s boundary
The recommendation keeps a clean split: HubSpot keeps its commercial role; the platform owns delivery. Engagement data is pulled from HubSpot (P1); renewal/expansion signals are pushed to HubSpot. The Briefing Report is recommended to move into the platform (see open question).
