Quarterly review with Clonvara. Active users more than doubled, tickets were few and answered in time, and every connector is loading. Brendan Moran asked what the £42k buys, and Amara Obi committed to a written value case before renewal.
What was said
What this says
As at Fri 9 Oct 2026Quarterly review with Clonvara. Active users more than doubled, tickets were few and answered in time, and every connector is loading. Brendan Moran asked what the £42k buys, and Amara Obi committed to a written value case before renewal.
What happened: Amara reported active users more than doubled on the previous quarter, around ten active against forty licensed. Two tickets, none high priority, both answered inside Growth entitlement.
Customer view: Brendan wants comfort that the subscription is controlled and worth the money, as he expects to be asked by the board. Siobhán and Aoife raised no complaints.
Commercial: the expansion was kept separate at the customer's request. Compliance and finance users were named as possible new users, which is headroom.
Watch: the value case is promised before the renewal. Aoife is the admin and runs the Monday check, so there is some key-person dependence.

Next steps
As at Fri 9 Oct 2026- Amara Obi sends the permissions note and the value case outline.
- Siobhán Dunne gives Amara two or three examples, especially the broker one.
- Amara Obi sends the invite for the next QBR a quarter from now.
Risks
As at Fri 9 Oct 2026- Brendan Moran expects to be asked by the board what the subscription delivers, so a weak value story would put the renewal at risk.
- Aoife Tuohy is the only admin and runs the Monday check, which is a key-person dependence.
Opportunities
As at Fri 9 Oct 2026- Compliance and finance users named by Siobhán and Brendan could use more of the forty licensed seats.
- More dashboards are planned for the next review, showing customer investment.
Transcript
Amara ObiHello, everyone. Can you all see my screen? Good. Amara here, for anyone who needs the reminder, I'm your customer success manager. Thanks for the time, it's the lunchtime slot so I'll be quick and keep to the clock.
Siobhán DunneGrand, Amara. Lovely to see everyone. Aoife's here as well, she's the one who knows the numbers best.
Brendan MoranGood afternoon. I have the quarterly summary you circulated. Is that the version on screen?- Amara ObiIt is, Brendan, the one from this morning. Lewis is on too, but mostly to listen. First question for you all: what does good look like this quarter?
- Siobhán DunneFor me, brokers served well, and the team asking the brain instead of asking Aoife. That's the test. And what's the source of truth, always, so that when someone quotes a number we know where it came from.
- Brendan MoranFrom my side, comfort that this is controlled and that we are getting value for the subscription. I will be asked.
- Amara ObiGood, that gives me the shape. So, here's what the numbers say. Active users have more than doubled against the previous quarter. You're licensed for forty and you're running around ten active in a typical month, so you've a lot of headroom.
- Siobhán DunneWhich is the underwriting team coming in. Cian's been bringing them through. It was a handful before Christmas.
- Amara ObiRight, and that's the pattern I like, because it's several people asking, not one person asking a large share. Questions asked are up with it. Can I show you who's asking what, at a team level?
- Brendan MoranPlease. Team level is sufficient.
- Amara ObiSo broker activity and claims linkage are the two heavy areas, then policy queries. The pages built are doing most of the work, and Aoife has built a couple of dashboards, which is the investment I always point to.
Aoife TuohyTwo so far. I'd like to do more, but I'm cautious, I'd rather not overstate what we've built. They're fine, they're not finished.- Amara ObiThat's honest and I'll take it. Tickets next. Two in the quarter, none high priority. Both answered inside what Growth entitles you to. Anything from your side that felt slow?
- Siobhán DunneNo, nothing. The one about the connector, it was sorted quickly.
- Aoife TuohyAgreed. Nothing to flag.
- Amara ObiBrilliant. Now, one thing I never let go unmentioned at a QBR: records indexed. Nothing's flat, every connector is loading. Aoife, you've got the Monday check going?
- Aoife TuohyEvery Monday, yes. It's become a habit.
- Brendan MoranMay I ask about value in plain terms? We are paying £41,800 a year. If I were asked by the board what we get for that, what would you say?
- Amara ObiFair, and I'd rather you asked. Three things. One, time: the reconciling across the CRM, the helpdesk and the call notes that someone used to do by hand now takes a question. Two, spread: it's no longer one analyst, it's a team. Three, control, it all sits in your own Snowflake account. I'd also like to put a proper value case in writing before the renewal, with real examples from Siobhán's team.
- Brendan MoranI would welcome that. Thank you.
- Siobhán DunneI can give you two or three examples. The broker one especially.
Lewis KerrIf I may, just a short note from the commercial side. There's the expansion we've been discussing, and it's separate from this review. Nothing is needed from anyone today. I'll keep it in a different conversation so this stays about usage.- Brendan MoranThat is appreciated, Lewis. Kindly keep it separate.
- Amara ObiWho else should have access? That's my question for the next quarter. Compliance, finance? Who'd ask the brain something useful if they could?
- Siobhán DunneShane, definitely, on the compliance side. He asks me for reports I could just point him to a page for.
- Brendan MoranAnd Gráinne, possibly. For supplier and invoicing queries. I would want to be clear what she can see.
- Amara ObiAbsolutely, access is controlled by Aoife as admin, so you decide. I'll write up a short note on how permissions work, so you've got it for the folder.
- Brendan MoranThank you. I do keep a folder of everything.
- Amara ObiI've heard. Right, let's get the next QBR in the diary. I'd suggest a quarter from now. Does that suit?
- Siobhán DunneWorks for me. Send the invite and I'll move things around.
- Aoife TuohyAnd me.
- Amara ObiSummary of actions: I send the permissions note and the value case outline, Siobhán gives me examples, Aoife keeps up the Monday check and we look at more dashboards next time. Anything I've missed?
- Brendan MoranNo. Thank you, Amara. Kind regards to all.
- Siobhán DunneThanks a million, everyone.
- Amara ObiBest, all. Speak soon.
