expansion model error small account usage growth percentage misleading failure

Not specified by the original author.

TL;DR

Fix this in the expansion model for small accounts by acting on the exact message first: require both an absolute increase and a percentage increase before alerting on small accounts, with a minimum starting baseline of active users and events. Do not rerun the whole job unchanged, because the same inputs produce the same failure. Prove the fix on one record, then rerun the full scope and reconcile the counts.

expansion model error small account usage growth percentage misleading failure

Use this when

• The operation in the expansion model for small accounts fails with this exact message: expansion model error small account usage growth percentage misleading failure.
• The same failure repeats on retry with unchanged inputs.
• A run, import, export or alert is blocked until this item completes.

Not for this skill when

• The message is a permission or platform outage notice. Resolve that first, then return here if this error remains.
• The operation completes and you only disagree with its output. That is a quality review, not this failure.

Steps

1. Reproduce the failure with the smallest scope that still shows it in the expansion model for small accounts, and copy the full message plus the record, account or list involved into the run notes. Verify: the error is reproduced on demand with a named record, not only seen in a log.
2. Apply the specific fix for this error: require both an absolute increase and a percentage increase before alerting on small accounts, with a minimum starting baseline of active users and events. Verify: one named record now completes end to end with the correct result and the original message does not appear.
3. Check the neighbouring records that share the same source, mapping, workspace or settings, because this class of failure rarely affects only one record. Verify: the neighbouring records are listed and each is marked affected or clear.
4. Compare the result counts, fields or alerts against the source in the expansion model for small accounts so a silent partial success is caught before sign off. Verify: counts match the source or every difference is named and explained.
5. Rerun the original operation in the expansion model for small accounts on the previously failing scope, watching for the same message rather than assuming success from a quiet log. Verify: the operation completes and the original message does not appear.
6. Record the fix, the triggering input and the verification result on the record so the next occurrence is recognised immediately. Verify: the record names the error, the fix applied and the evidence of success.

Why it happens

On a tiny base, one or two new users produce a huge percentage that means nothing commercially.

Fix this in the expansion scoring model by acting on the exact message first: separate the churn and expansion scores by product line and time window, and stop letting a short support ticket burst subtract from a sustained usage growth signal when both are present. Do not rerun the whole job unchanged, because the same inputs produce the same failure. Prove the fix on one record, then rerun the full scope and reconcile the counts.

Why it happens

One blended health score mixed a transient negative signal with a durable growth signal and the negative weight won.

Fix this in expansion signal agent workflow by acting on the exact message first: require every claimed expansion signal to cite the warehouse query result behind it, recompute the claimed growth figure from that result, reject any signal whose growth is absent from the warehouse rows, and log the rejected claim with its account for review. Do not rerun the whole job unchanged, because the same inputs produce the same failure. Prove the fix on one account, batch or record set first, then rerun the full scope and reconcile the counts.

Use this when

• The operation in expansion signal agent workflow fails with this exact message or symptom: agent hallucinated expansion signal claimed usage growth absent from warehouse data.
• The same failure repeats on retry with unchanged inputs.
• Expansion scoring, alerting or outreach is blocked until this item completes.

Not for this skill when

• The message is an outage notice from the platform. Resolve that first, then return here if this error remains.
• The operation completes and you only disagree with its output quality. That is a quality review, not this failure.

Steps

1. Reproduce the failure with the smallest scope that still shows it in expansion signal agent workflow, and copy the full message plus the account, signal or job involved into the run notes. Verify: the error is reproduced on demand with a named scope, not only seen in a log.
2. Apply the specific fix for this error: require every claimed expansion signal to cite the warehouse query result behind it, recompute the claimed growth figure from that result, reject any signal whose growth is absent from the warehouse rows, and log the rejected claim with its account for review. Verify: the smallest failing scope now completes, or the named account, signal or job behaves as the fix predicts.
3. Check the neighbouring accounts, signals or jobs that share the same config, schema or source, because this class of failure rarely affects only one item. Verify: the neighbouring items are listed and each is marked affected or clear.
4. Rerun the original operation in expansion signal agent workflow on the previously failing scope, watching for the same message rather than assuming success from a quiet log. Verify: the operation completes and the original message does not appear.
5. Compare the result counts, scores or status against the source in expansion signal agent workflow so a silent partial success is caught before sign off. Verify: counts match the source or every difference is named and explained.
6. Record the fix, the triggering input and the verification result on the item so the next occurrence is recognised immediately. Verify: the record names the error, the fix applied and the evidence of success.

Why it happens

An agent summarising from the task description instead of the returned rows can invent plausible growth, and source validation against the warehouse rows is the check that catches it.

Edge cases

• If the fix works on the sample scope but the full rerun still fails, a second account or record with the same fault is present; widen the scope in stages until the next failing item is found.
• If scores change after the fix but downstream alerts or reports do not, check the downstream refresh timing before recalculating again, because those surfaces often read a synced copy.
• If the source information itself is missing for the affected accounts, record that as a source gap rather than scoring the accounts as zero.
