AI Readiness Score
Good subscription data in Shopify, email engagement in Klaviyo, but limited behavioral analytics
Small team but already using Claude, semi-technical capability
Budget appropriate for tools and API costs, realistic for SMB
Strong ecommerce foundation with Shopify/Klaviyo APIs, clear subscription workflows
2-3 month timeline reasonable for phased implementation
Well-established SaaS tools with robust APIs, minimal custom systems
How This System Works
Architecture
Three-agent system integrating with existing Shopify/Klaviyo stack. Churn Risk Detector monitors subscriber health, Smart Upsell Generator drives revenue growth, and Production Planner optimizes operations. All agents use Claude for analysis and decision-making.
Data Flow
Shopify provides the core subscription and order data, while Klaviyo supplies email engagement metrics. Claude analyzes this data to identify risks, generate recommendations, and plan production. Outputs flow back to Klaviyo for email campaigns and Slack for team notifications.
