This week's Wednesday episode (Week 26, 2026) features a founder who turned a CFO audit crisis into an 88% renewal rate — up from 71% — across B2B SaaS enterprise accounts, using three concrete retention moves built in sixty days.

Topics covered in this episode:

• Why token prices falling 80% still produced a 320% surge in enterprise AI bills, driven by agentic workflows multiplying per-interaction costs up to 30 times
• How a hard monthly spend cap, a cost-per-outcome dashboard, and a two-page finance-language ROI summary drove a 17-point renewal swing on accounts with dashboard access
• Why the ROI doc failed on accounts where unit economics had genuinely worsened — and what the KPMG finding that only 26% of companies can fully track AI costs means for future scrutiny
• How to convert a 60-day retention playbook into a pre-renewal checklist against a backdrop of AI-driven renewal increases now running 20–37% versus the historical 3–9% norm

If your ARR growth depends on AI-driven pricing inside enterprise accounts, this episode is the pre-mortem you need before your next renewal cycle. Guest name, title, and company withheld pending release clearance. Keywords: B2B SaaS, ARR, growth, acquisition.
