The four heights

The same task, four distances: today's deadline, the next reviewer, the stuck moment, the pattern.

Before I cancel a customer’s ongoing subscription, surface the cost and timing that matter to the reviewer: show the date of last payment, the next billing date, any outstanding credits, and whether cancellation will trigger a partial refund or immediate service cutoff so the account manager can decide fast.

Decide — diagnose the stuck moment

We get last-minute cancellation requests and scramble refunds every month.

We repeatedly have clients asking urgent cancellations just after a payment posts, and finance spends hours processing proration and refunds. Which operational habit will stop these firefights: standard end-of-cycle cancellation policy communicated upfront, automated proration rules, or a grace window? Pick one policy change I can implement this quarter and explain the steps to put it in place and communicate it to account managers and clients.

Every task here came from the work, not from a feature list — which is why the prompts name what you want done and never the button that does it. The tool changes; the work does not.
