The Star Ratings cliff is a C-suite event. Sell it like one.
The fastest path to the market-share goal runs through C-suite access, and that meeting is the hard one to land. Right now Star Ratings is pitched at operators: contact-center service levels and call-center measures. That is why it stalls below the C-suite. This page is the reframe that opens the door, and the engine that runs it.
A 5% number is not a contact-center metric.
Crossing 4.0 is a CFO and CEO number. The same motion, aimed at the economic buyer with that framing, is the C-suite wedge we cannot open today. We keep the contact-center mechanism as the how. We lead with the bonus as the why you, why now. That single change moves the conversation from an ops manager to the person who owns the contract.
Smaller and sharper than 38.
A Star Rating is a composite. Most sub-4.0 plans miss the line on measures we do not move. Chasing all 38 spends the window on plans we cannot help.
The engine scores the 38 by how far each sits from 4.0, weighted by how much the call-center measures can actually move it. Reps work the most winnable contracts first. Smaller list, higher hit rate, a cleaner story for the buyer. Subset sized once we score it
The constraint is proof, not volume.
2028, then it phases out
The call-center measures we move are scored through the 2028 Stars, then removed. The selling window is real and finite.
Optimize for credited proof
The binding constraint is not how many messages we send. It is proving attributed pipeline before the window closes, so the motion earns its renewal and its scale. We optimize for time to a credited reply.
The machine that runs all three, built and ready to wire.
This is not a plan to go build. It is built. One weekly motion that sources the subset, drafts in context, gates hard, sends, and proves credit. It goes live on the 6th by wiring real data, not by being designed from scratch while the quarter runs.
Maker drafts, an independent reviewer holds anything off-spec, a person approves before send. I automate around the judgment, not the judgment itself.
The full build, every engine and dashboard, with the integrity labels on every number.

Attribution
Agree where we count a sourced reply, plus the 1× baseline, so the engine measures itself honestly from day one.
Aim at the buyer
Point the first sequences at the economic buyer, Finance and the CEO and Chief Quality, not only ops. That is the cut that opens the C-suite door.
Everything else is wired, not built. The pre-access work is the read, the targeting, and the engine. The go-live work is these two conversations and connecting real data.
