Coretrace Insights showing why deals were lost: the top loss reason, how many deals cited it, and the customer quotes behind it

Win/loss analysis is broken.

You know you need to understand why deals close or don't. But today's options all fall short.

Manual interviews

PMs spend 25+ hours per quarter scheduling, conducting, and synthesizing interviews. Most teams give up after one round.

Expensive consultants

Full-service vendors charge $65K+/year for a program most teams can't justify. And you still wait weeks for results.

Shallow surveys

Survey tools get checkbox data, not the real story. Respondents rush through in 3 minutes. You learn nothing you didn't already know.

The result? Most companies fly blind on their most important question: why do we win and lose?

How it works

Three steps to your first insight.

1
CSV contact import interface showing name, email, and outcome columns

Add your customers

Upload a CSV of recent deals, or drop one interview link into your cancel flow or app. Either way, setup takes minutes.

2
AI interview conversation on mobile showing adaptive follow-up questions

AI conducts the interviews

Our AI runs a natural conversation, typed or spoken, that digs deeper than any survey, whether they arrive by email or straight from your product.

3
Coretrace Insights showing why deals were won, with deal counts, competitors beaten, and source quotes

Get actionable insights

See why you win and lose, or where the real opportunities are, with every insight traced back to a real customer quote.

Three programs. One AI interviewer.

Pick the question you need answered. Core-y adapts the whole conversation to it.

Win/loss analysis

Why did that deal close, or not?

Interview buyers right after the decision, while it's fresh. Core-y knows whether you won or lost and probes the moments that tipped it: pricing, product gaps, the competitor, the sales experience.

  • Reasons classified into a consistent win/loss taxonomy
  • Competitor and pricing patterns across every deal
  • Every theme linked to the buyer's own words
Customer discovery

What do your customers actually need?

Learn how people work today before you build. Core-y asks about their tools, where the time goes, and what they would change, then turns each conversation into a structured opportunity record.

  • Pains, workarounds, and current tools, with quotes
  • Opportunity themes rolled up across interviews
  • Run it inside your product, at the right moment
Cancellation interviews

Why are customers leaving?

Ask at the one moment they know exactly why: right after they click cancel. Core-y has a short, honest conversation (no save attempts, no discounts) and you get churn reasons you can act on.

  • Shown in your cancellation flow, not their inbox
  • Starts from the reason they picked, then digs into the story
  • Churn reasons classified and rolled up by theme

Skip the inbox. Ask in the moment.

Interview invitations compete with everything else in an inbox, and they arrive after the moment has passed. Coretrace interviews can live inside your product instead.

In your cancel flow

"Sorry to see you go. Would you tell us why? It takes about 3 minutes, and you can just talk."

In your app

"You've used reports a lot lately. Help shape what we build next?" Shown to the right users, at the right time.

After a deal closes

Your rep forwards a personal link the day after a win or loss, so the ask comes from someone they know.

One link. Paste it behind any button.

<button onclick="coretraceInterview({ uid: user.id, plan: user.plan, reason })">
  Tell us why
</button>

Pass your user's id and any context you have. Core-y uses it to ask better questions. Read the setup guide →

See what you'll get.

Every finding traced back to the customer's own words. Shown with sample data from Ledgerline, a fictional company.

Paywright 1 · Invoxly 1

What they said

“Ledgerline came in at about $4,200 a month for 12 seats at their per-seat pricing model. Paywright undercut them at $3,100.”
Michelle Chen, Silvercrest Finance Group · transcript
“Invoxly's transaction-based pricing was cheaper and their deployment was like six weeks versus Ledgerline's estimate of twelve to sixteen weeks.”
David Ortiz, NorthStar Corporation · transcript
“Maybe Ledgerline had a slightly better UI, but not enough to justify $1,100 extra every month.”
Michelle Chen, Silvercrest Finance Group · transcript

Every insight links to the source quote. No black box. No guesswork.

Everything you need to run a customer interview program.

No consultants. No spreadsheets. No busywork.

AI conversational interviews

Not a form. A real conversation. Our AI asks smart follow-up questions based on each response, just like a skilled interviewer.

Live voice interviews New

Respondents tap one button and just talk. Core-y listens, follows up, and handles interruptions like a real interviewer. Audio is never recorded; only the transcript is saved.

Insights dashboard

Aggregated themes and patterns, updated as each new interview completes. See the big picture without the busywork.

Theme extraction

AI identifies recurring themes across your interviews: product gaps, pricing concerns, competitive pressure, unmet needs.

Source traceability

Every insight links directly to the customer quote that generated it. No black box. Trust the data because you can verify it.

Outreach management

Manage invitations, reminders, and response tracking in one place. Know who responded, who declined, and who needs a nudge.

Not just another survey tool.

Coretrace uses AI to conduct real conversations with your customers. Here's what makes it different.

✨ Adaptive follow-ups

Our AI doesn't follow a script. It listens to each response and asks the next logical question, uncovering insights a static survey never would.

✨ Type it or talk it

Respondents choose how to answer: type, dictate, or switch to a live voice conversation with Core-y. People say more when they talk, and more words mean better insights.

✨ Transparent intelligence

Every AI-generated theme links to its source quotes. You see the reasoning, not just the conclusion.

Transcript with evidence highlighting linking insights to source quotes

Simple, transparent pricing.
