Retainers don’t blow up. They fade. Retycle watches every one of yours for the two things that quietly kill them — clients going dark and hours drifting off plan — and hands you a score, a reason, and the next move while there’s still time to fix it.
Early access rolls out in small batches. No spam — we hate noise as much as you do.
It happens in the gaps: a skipped check-in here, an under-delivered month there. By the time it’s visible, it has a name — churn — and a date.
Six weeks of silence never shows up in your PM tool. Then the renewal email goes out and… nothing comes back.
The squeaky client gets 179% of their hours. The quiet one funds it. Neither situation survives a renewal conversation.
You learn a client was unhappy at the precise moment it stops being fixable. Every agency knows this phone call.
Retycle blends three signals — how recently you talked, whether hours are on pace, and which way momentum is heading — into a single 0–100 score. No black box: the flags underneath tell you exactly what moved it.
Six quiet weeks never show up in a spreadsheet — they show up in the renewal call. Retycle watches delivery week by week and raises a hand the moment a client starts to fade.
A drifting client is a problem. A drifting client renewing in 17 days is an emergency. Retycle multiplies health by monthly value and counts down to every renewal, so the loudest alert is always the one worth money.
Every flag ships with a suggested next action. Handled it? Snooze it with a reason and a date. The nagging stops; the score stays honest; the receipt is there when you need it.
Snoozing acknowledges a flag — the score stays honest.
A snapshot tells you who’s already in trouble. A trend shows you who’s heading there. Daily score history plots every client against the Healthy and Watch lines, so a slow fade looks exactly like what it is.
Clients, retainer hours, rates, renewal dates. Ten minutes, once — tags and owners if you’re fancy.
Work, calls, meetings, emails. Quarter-hour honesty beats timesheet theatre.
One screen with your morning coffee. Green means relax. Amber means nudge. Clay means call them today.
Winning a new client costs five times more than keeping one. Retycle is the cheapest retention program you’ll ever run: one glance a day.
Early birds shape the roadmap — feature requests get read by a human the same day.
