For B2B SaaS, I'd lean heavily on behavioral signals over surveys — things like login frequency drops, feature usage decline, or support ticket spikes are way more telling and non-intrusive. Tools like Gainsight or even a simple data layer in Mixpanel can flag accounts showing 2-3 of those signals at once. Save surveys for high-value accounts at renewal time, and keep them to 2-3 questions max.
