Monthly Reading Retainer

A recurring monthly slot to interpret fresh membership exports, answer organiser questions, and keep renewal language consistent across chapters.

Why a retainer

Community membership apps produce a fresh export every month. Without a steady reading habit, organisers drift back to gut feel. The retainer keeps one person outside the day-to-day politics who still knows how your “active member” definition works.

What is included each month

  • Review of the latest membership and engagement export against the definitions set in your first month
  • A short written note (two to three pages) highlighting material changes
  • One sixty-minute call with your membership lead
  • Email answers to clarifying questions within the same calendar month

What is excluded

Extra deep-dive audits, board presentations beyond the monthly note, and work for additional apps under the same organisation unless scoped separately.

Cadence

We ask for a three-month minimum so definitions stabilise. After that, cancel with thirty days’ notice before the next billing month. Missed calls can be rescheduled once within the month; unused months do not roll over as cash credit.
