Product Adoption Companion

Diagnose adoption issues, navigate journey stages, and prepare structured calls using the product playbooks - one product at a time.

How to use this view: The value chain shows how each metric connects in the operational workflow - from vehicle acquisition to lead generation. Click any metric chip to see its upstream/downstream relationships and diagnostic notes.

Starting point
Vehicle Acquisition
Dealer purchases or receives vehicles
1. Vehicle Creation in StockSpark
# Vehicles created Last vehicle created
Manual entry OR DMS import feed
2a. Data Completeness
Mandatory fields: price, mileage, fuel type - not directly measured in ChurnZero, but blocks publication when missing
2b. Visual Quality
% Vehicles with images AVG Time to get images % Background removal
3. Publication
% Vehicles published to portal AVG Time to publish % Published to WebSpark
4. Lead Generation
# Leads received % Leads with vehicle image % Leads with vehicle
Cross-cutting: Platform Access
% Users logged in (Dashboard)
Login enables the operational workflow. For manual setups, regular login is required for vehicle creation and management. For fully automated DMS + auto-publication setups, the platform can run with minimal login.
Cross-cutting: DMS Feed
% Import errors / # Import errors
Import errors break the chain at vehicle creation level - silently. The dealer sees vehicles in their DMS, assumes they appear in StockSpark. Affects creation, publication, leads.
Day 0-15

Early Activation

The first two weeks post-delivery. The customer should establish the basic operational rhythm: vehicles being created (manually or via DMS), images uploaded promptly, and vehicles published to portals. For accounts with DMS integration and automatic publication rules, login may be less frequent - this is normal. Unlike WebSpark - where activation is about content creation - StockSpark activation is about an operational process that should already be running. The dealer was managing inventory before StockSpark; the question is whether they have migrated that process into the platform.

7 Achievements - click any failure to see diagnosis
Day 15-30

Habit Formation

Achievement criteria are identical to Stage 1. The interpretation shifts: at Day 30, the dealer has had a full month. Any achievement still failing here is a process problem, not a getting-started problem. Operational platforms like StockSpark either get adopted quickly or they don't - a dealer who hasn't created vehicles in 30 days is not in transition, they are not using the product.

Key pattern to watch: Passed Stage 1 but failing Stage 2 - the most common cause is personnel change. The person trained at delivery is no longer responsible, or has left, and the replacement hasn't been trained. Check who currently owns the vehicle creation workflow.
Additional metrics to track from Stage 2
# Leads received
By Day 30, the customer should be receiving leads from portal publications. If leads = 0 despite vehicles published, check portal connections and enquiry routing.
% Vehicle created - USED/NEW/KM0
Vehicle mix contextualizes creation frequency. Used vehicle dealers should create more frequently than new vehicle dealers.
Day 30-60

Consolidation Begins

All seven achievements should be passing by now. This is the last early-activation stage before Consolidation. If multiple achievements are still failing, the customer has not integrated StockSpark into their daily operational workflow - this is a structural problem requiring direct intervention.

Full pre-call diagnostic checklist for Stage 3:
In ChurnZero - verify before the call
Outside ChurnZero - ask the customer
Month 2-12

Consolidation and Continuity

Stage 4 and Stage 5 are structurally identical. Four changes from Stages 1-3: (1) Support Tickets tightens from ≤2 to ≤1, (2) Login window extends to last 7 days, (3) % Vehicles with Images removes OR logic - only Free Vehicles metric applies, (4) AVG Time to Get Images is now tracked for all 4 segments separately.

From Stage 4, ChurnScore becomes the primary health signal. Review factors in priority order (see ChurnScore Weights tab). Journey achievement failures are still relevant but the score gives you the composite picture.
How to use: Fill in the customer context, then check the achievements that are failing. The tool generates a structured pre-call briefing with what to verify in ChurnZero, what to check outside CZ, and a prioritized call agenda.

Customer Context

Achievements failing (check all that apply):
Remember: In ChurnZero, lower ChurnScore = healthier account. Score 12 = excellent, score 75 = red flag. Always read in this direction. The weight configuration differs between S1 and S2-S4 accounts.
Factor Weight S1 Weight S2-S4 Goal (varies by segment) Notes
% Vehicles published to portal2020S1: ≥95% / S2: ≥90% / S3-S4: ≥80%Highest weight - directly linked to lead generation
% Free Vehicles with images1818S1: ≥95% / S2: ≥90% / S3-S4: ≥80%Second highest - image coverage drives lead quality
Last vehicle created1515S1: ≤14d / S2: ≤10d / S3: ≤7d / S4: ≤3dInventory freshness - if failing, platform is dormant
AVG Time to get images129S1/S2/S3: ≤2d / S4: ≤3dHigher weight in S1 - photography workflow efficiency
% Vehicles published to WSK810S1: ≥95% / S2: ≥90% / S3-S4: ≥80%Only applies to accounts with WebSpark active
AVG Time to publish a vehicle108S1/S2/S3: ≤2d / S4: ≤3d⚠️ Most challenging metric - a minority of accounts meet the S1 goal. Distinguish workflow vs stale inventory.
Open Tickets1010≤3 (all segments)Journey threshold (≤1 at S4+) is stricter than ChurnScore threshold (≤3)
Log In75≥1 user / last 7 days (Stage 4+)Higher weight in S1 - single-user accounts most at risk
% Import errors-5≤10% / last 7 daysNot tracked for S1 - spot signal when it fires
Priority review order for Stage 4+ (combined weight + actionability):
  1. % Vehicles published to portal (20pt) - conversion point between internal management and market presence
  2. % Free Vehicles with images (18pt) - publication enabler + lead quality driver
  3. Last vehicle created (15pt) - leading indicator of entire chain
  4. AVG Time to get images (9-12pt) - photography workflow efficiency
  5. % Vehicles published to WSK (8-10pt) - WSK accounts only
  6. AVG Time to publish (8-10pt) - check stale vs workflow first
  7. Open Tickets (10pt) - support issues blocking usability
  8. Log In (5-7pt) - prerequisite for all other operational tasks
  9. % Import errors (5pt, S2-S4 only) - technical signal when it fires
Use this table to decide quickly whether a signal requires an immediate internal escalation or a coaching conversation with the customer.
Signal What it likely means First CSM action Escalate internally if...
Open tickets > 2 at Stage 4+ Unresolved support issues affecting platform usability Review ticket content; push support if stalled Tickets > 3 business days with no update; technical issue (feed, portal) blocking publication
% Vehicles Published = 0% Portal connections not configured or broken Check whether portals were set up at delivery; ask customer if they can see vehicles in portal admin Not resolved within 24h of identification - blocks all lead generation
% Import errors fires DMS feed issue - origin unknown (dealer side or MotorK side) Triage: ask customer about DMS changes first Customer confirms no changes on their side - likely MotorK-side mapping issue
AVG Time to Publish > 30 days Stale vehicle accumulation OR broken current workflow Ask customer: "For a vehicle that arrives today, how long to get on portals?" - if fast, issue is historical stale inventory Current workflow confirmed fast but metric remains high: data quality review needed
Last Vehicle Created gap > threshold for 14+ days Platform dormant - not being used for daily inventory Contact customer proactively; identify personnel change or access issue Customer unresponsive; platform appears completely abandoned
Login % = 0 for 14+ days (Stage 4+) Platform abandoned or access issue Contact customer directly; verify access for all configured users Customer cannot regain access; credentials may need reset
ChurnScore >= 70 Multiple factors in red simultaneously Full diagnostic before next call; present ChurnScore breakdown by factor; prioritize top-weight factors Score >= 70 for 2+ consecutive months with no improvement despite customer action
