Key finding

A renewal review that measures the time between notice and customer response for expiring plans.

Research question and scope

This protocol examines maintenance plan renewal. It reports what one defined record can show in a fixed window and does not claim an industry rate or a causal effect.

Population and unit of analysis

The unit is one expiring plan at first notice. Using one unit keeps linked events from being counted as independent successes or failures.

Definitions and measures

The measure is the response time and the lapse rate. Publish the denominator and time window beside each count.

Evidence and data dictionary

Collect the plan, notice, and response. Keep missing, unavailable, and confirmed negative as separate states.

Sampling and collection

The sample is plans expiring during one quarter. Record the observation date and exclude items already open before the window.

Analysis and reporting

Report response by notice channel. Separate customer behavior from staff behavior whenever the evidence supports it.

Limitations and sources of error

Limits include customers without current contact details. State them beside the finding and avoid turning a small sample into a universal standard.

Review cadence and next action

The next step is to add one earlier notice for slow segments. Re-test a later sample after the change.

Map the next controlled handoff

Bring one recurring workflow, its source records, and the person who owns exceptions.
