| 3 | The other act-skill on the right side. Two of the three ways a company grows happen after the first sale ([`docs/operating-model.md`](../../../docs/operating-model.md)), and this is one of them: `account-health` flags the `EXPANSION-SIGNAL`; this turns it into an angle and hands it to sales with the customer context attached — so it isn't a cold internal restart. |

| 5 | From the healthy account in `ops/customers.md` and the `EXPANSION-SIGNAL` line: |

| 7 | 1. **Confirm the trigger is real.** Expansion rides on *adoption*, not the calendar. The signal is the core used well plus a named next pain — a second team asking unprompted, a new use case, more seats. A renewal date is not an expansion trigger; pushing growth on an account that isn't getting value yet is churn with extra steps. |
| 8 | 2. **Name the angle.** Which way does it grow — an adjacent team, a new use case, deeper use of what they already have? Is it cross-sell (a new thing) or more of the same (more seats, more volume)? One angle, named. |
| 9 | 3. **Build the case on realized value.** Start from what they've already gotten — the outcome the book can show — and extend it to the new area, in their words, not a feature list. |
| 10 | 4. **Re-arm the champion.** Expansion is carried internally, not pitched in. Give the champion the one-page case they can forward, and the line that makes it their idea — not your quota. |
| 11 | 5. **Hand to sales with the CS context.** The handoff is the account, the angle, the realized-value case, and the champion — so sales picks up a warm, qualified expansion, not a cold account. A real expansion is a new deal: it crosses back to `ops/pipeline.md`, the loop the bowtie closes. |
| 12 | 6. **Log it and update the book.** Mark the account Expanding; note the angle and the handoff in `ops/customers.md`. |
| 13 | |
| 14 | Don't run this on an unhealthy account — route that to `churn-save` first. Expansion is the reward for value landing, not a substitute for it. |

| 16 | ## Depth |
| 17 | - quick: confirm the trigger + name the one angle. |
| 18 | - standard: the full play — trigger, angle, value-case, champion, hand to sales. |
| 19 | - deep: + the multi-thread map of who signs off on the larger spend, and the buyer-facing one-pager for the champion to forward. |
