CAM Data Analysis & Decision Making 3

Question 1

A CAM wants to forecast next quarter's expansion revenue using historical data. Which approach provides the most statistically rigorous forecast?

Accepted Answer

Linear regression on historical expansion trends

Answer

Linear regression identifies the relationship between time and revenue trends, producing a statistically grounded forecast based on historical patterns.

Question 2

When a CAM's monthly business review data shows conflicting signals — rising usage but declining satisfaction scores — the recommended approach is to:

Accepted Answer

Triangulate both data points to identify the root cause

Answer

Triangulating multiple data points reveals whether the conflict reflects a temporary lag, a feature-fit issue, or an unmet expectation that needs addressing.

Question 3

A CAM uses a weighted scoring model to prioritize renewal risk. An account scored 85/100 in product adoption but 20/100 in executive sponsor engagement. The overall risk assessment should:

Accepted Answer

Weight engagement scores heavily since sponsor loss is a top churn driver

Answer

Weighting factors by their impact on churn ensures the risk score reflects real-world outcomes; executive sponsor loss is consistently a top churn predictor.

Question 4

Which metric BEST indicates a customer's likelihood to expand their contract in the next quarter?

Accepted Answer

Product adoption rate above 80% with growing user count

Answer

High product adoption combined with a growing user base signals the customer is realizing value and has capacity to expand usage or seats.

Question 5

A CAM is asked to explain why customer lifetime value (CLV) dropped 15% year-over-year. Which analysis would be MOST revealing?

Accepted Answer

Cohort analysis comparing retention and expansion rates by acquisition year

Answer

Cohort analysis isolates how different groups of customers behave over time, revealing whether new cohorts retain and expand at lower rates than older ones.
