About Ted H.

Most CS organizations are structured to respond. Escalations queue up, renewal saves happen at the last minute, and churn hits the books before leadership had real visibility into why. The operating model produces effort, not outcomes.That structural problem is what I fix. Across 12 years in SaaS, subscription, and digital environments, I have built and run the systems that eliminate that volatility. Health scoring tied to real risk signals. Lifecycle governance with clear decision rights. Renewal execution that starts months ahead of contract cycles rather than weeks before expiration. The result at Best Version Media: 95% gross retention across a $35M national portfolio, an 18.9% reduction in year-over-year revenue decline, and forecast reliability that gave executive leadership actual decision confidence. The same model produced 95% retention and 25% expansion growth at Universal Soul Service Corp across $25M ARR, and a 18% adoption increase at CHILI Publish through usage-based risk detection that moved renewal conversations upstream before urgency set in. I also documented the operating system publicly. The CS Blueprint on GitHub is a working artifact of how I build these systems, not a template, not a thought leadership post.
