A practical example
Example: a company defines 'activated' as completing a specific setup step within 14 days; only accounts past that stage enter the expansion email sequence, while pre-activation accounts get onboarding nudges.
What to evaluate before investing
- Can you define custom lifecycle stages with objective entry and exit criteria, rather than accepting a fixed vendor model?
- Does stage progression happen automatically from tracked events, with manual override where judgment is needed?
- Can different automations, owners, and reporting views be attached to each stage so the model drives real operations?
Limitations and tradeoffs
Lifecycle models are simplifications; real customers skip stages, loop back, or sit between definitions, so rigid stage-based automation can send tone-deaf messages without regular review.
