What this says
Current to 11 Oct 26Marcus Bell checked in with Luke Oakes on 23 Sep 2026. Luke had no complaints and said the product still does its job, but usage is light at about three queries a week and no value case or renewal intent was voiced.
What happened: Marcus Bell ran a 25 minute check-in with Luke Oakes on 23 Sep 2026. Luke gave short answers and raised nothing.
Customer view: Luke said search is solid and the dashboards work well. He offered nothing on value, price or a rival.
Usage: Marcus quoted about three queries a week and around three active users, mostly contract and job lookups. That is light use, and Luke is the only contact on the call.
Commercial: Marcus said the contract renews at the end of the year. No tier, price or renewal decision was discussed, and the evidence does not show who signs.

Risks
Current to 9 Oct 26- Usage of about three queries a week and around three users is low, so a renewal value case is thin.
- Luke Oakes is the only customer voice, and the evidence does not show who decides the renewal.
Opportunities
Current to 9 Oct 26- The new dashboard templates give a reason to re-engage Luke and show more value before renewal.
