For agencies running on EOS

Your agency runs on EOS.
Your client book runs on memory.

You measure cash, sales, and utilization. But the numbers that decide whether clients stay, like at-risk accounts, broken promises, and who's sitting on the work, get reported up from memory by the account managers they grade.

RetainLayer reads your email, meetings, and tickets and auto-builds the two EOS components every agency fakes by hand for retention: the Scorecard (Data) and the Issues List (Issues).

Reads Gmail · Granola · Freshdesk · Basecamp. No data entry, no new meeting.

The Six Key Components

Two of the six are supposed to be numbers. For retention, they're guesses.

EOS strengthens six components. You and your tools own four of them. RetainLayer auto-builds the other two from what your team already says and does.

How it works

One pipeline. Every client. No new habits.

Connect your tools. Everything becomes an immutable record. RetainLayer turns each client's history into current state: health, open loops, who owes what, revenue at risk.

Numbers & issues, ready for Monday

A live Retention Scorecard

A pre-Identified Issues List

Owners & follow-through

Every number drills down to the email or call it came from.

The Data component

A Scorecard you didn't have to fill in.

5–15 weekly leading indicators for your book of business, each with an owner and a goal, green or red at a glance. It is the exact slot your L10 already has, populated from the stream instead of from memory.

  • Leading, not lagging: you see the wobble weeks before the cancellation.
  • One owner per number: accountability, not anonymity.
  • Off-goal numbers drop straight onto the Issues List.

The Issues component

We do the Identify. Your team does the rest.

The hardest part of IDS is knowing the issue exists at all. RetainLayer surfaces it, names the root cause, and prices it, so it can't stay invisible until the cancellation email.

The Traction component

It fills the meeting you already run.

Open RetainLayer to run your Level 10. Three of the seven segments arrive populated. They are the three that are normally the most hand-wavy on the client side.

Quarterly, it clusters recurring issues across the whole book into candidate Rocks: evidence-backed priorities for your next planning session, not another brainstorm.

Speaks your language

EOS on the inside. Plain English by default.

Not everyone on your team lives and breathes Traction. So the product speaks plainly by default. Flip on EOS mode and every surface relabels to the vocabulary your leadership team already uses.

What RetainLayer is, and what it isn't.

We're not here to replace the operating system you already run. We're the layer underneath it.

It is

  • The auto-built Data + Issues layer for your client book.
  • A reader of the stream you already produce: email, calls, tickets, tasks.
  • Numbers and issues with the receipts one click away.

It isn't

  • A V/TO editor, a Rock tracker, or an L10 timer.
  • A replacement for Ninety.io, EOS One, or Bloom Growth. It feeds them.
  • Another dashboard nobody opens. It lands in your weekly meeting.

“If a human has to type the number in, it isn't ours. If we can compute it from the stream, it is.”

See your own at-risk MRR before your next L10.

Connect read-only access to your inbox and tools. We'll build your first Retention Scorecard and Issues List from real data, and walk you through what it found.
