Where paying relationships thin, and in which month of tenure.

Service Pathbase writes churn and lifecycle reports for magazines, clubs, boxes, and memberships. The work is a document and a briefing, not a login. We sit with your extract until the leaving pattern can be shown on paper.

A report you can take into a commercial meeting

Operators come to us when the fulfilment file and the finance file disagree, or when a board asks why renewals slipped after a price change. We chart cohorts, code cancellation notes, and name the tenure band that actually moves.

Printed bar charts and a notebook on a table

Join-to-leave maps

Start month, plan length, pause use, failed payments, and stated reasons, drawn as a path rather than a single leaving rate.

A briefing with the pack in hand

Ninety minutes in London or by video. The charts stay on the table. We do not walk a room through a live screen of unexplained filters.

Related work in the same family

Shorter cuts when the question is already narrow: one cohort question, one renewal window, or a board pack of labelled charts.

Printed tables and a calculator beside a notebook

From £1,900

Cohort cut

A shorter engagement that isolates one question: which start months, channels, or plan lengths still pay after three, six, and twelve months.

How this engagement runs

Hands writing notes with a fountain pen on lined paper

Quoted by volume of notes

Cancellation note reading

Hand coding of free-text leaving reasons so the volume of “too expensive”, “moving house”, and “forgot to cancel trial” can be shown as shares, not anecdotes.

How this engagement runs

A wall calendar and planner on a desk

From £2,400

Renewal-season briefing

A timed pack for the weeks before annual or auto-renew dates: who is coming up, who paused last year, and which start months historically fail to renew.

How this engagement runs

Long conference table in a quiet meeting room

From £1,250

Board chart pack

Print-ready charts of leaving, tenure, and plan mix for a board or investor meeting, drawn from an extract you already trust — without a full written report.

How this engagement runs

From a Bristol quarterly

Helen’s pack showed that our ‘loyal’ annuals were leaving in month thirteen, not in the trial. We had been rewriting welcome emails. The leaving sat after the first renewal invoice.

Bring an extract, not a pitch deck

If you can export join dates, plan codes, pauses, failed payments, and cancellation text, we can tell you within a scoping call whether a full lifecycle report or a cohort cut is the honest next step.
