What changed

net revenue retention quarterly Apr 2026 ✓ second AI confirmed
Net revenue retention slipped to 96% in April from 104% in March — the Helix Robotics account downgraded from Pro to Starter ($1,400/mo) and two Build-tier accounts churned ($890/mo combined). Reviewing whether to flag this in the May board update.
gross margin pct Apr 2026 ✓ second AI confirmed
Gross margin held at 78% vs the 76% Q1 plan — the Snowflake credits renegotiation closed at a lower annual contract value than budgeted, saving ~$4,200/mo in cost of revenue.
sales efficiency magic number Apr 2026 second AI disagrees — check
Sales magic number dropped to 0.6 in April from 0.9 in March — new ARR added ($24K) is below the run-rate $40K/mo target the Series A pitch assumed. The worker and the supervisor disagreed on whether this is a one-off (April had two stage-3 deals slip) or a trend, so it was routed to your inbox for the call. Worth a board flag.
