Auto-freeze at 45–59 days, not retroactive refund

A student stops showing up. The system tags the family at 45 days, freezes the Stripe line at 59. No more refund chase at month's end.

Status note: Workflow in the V1 starter pack.

The story

When a student silently drops out — no withdrawal note, no parent message, just not coming — the studio keeps charging. The parent eventually notices and demands a refund. The studio's choice is: refund three months of tuition or argue.

Pirouette runs a daily workflow over attendance. At 45 days of no attendance on an enrollment, the family gets tagged and the studio gets a broadcast. At 59 days, the enrollment status flips to paused and the matching Stripe subscription line freezes automatically. Refunds are no longer retroactive — they stop on a clear, communicable timeline.

What this looks like in practice

  • Daily workflow over attendance records — finds gaps automatically
  • 45-day tag: family flagged, broadcast to the studio inbox
  • 59-day pause: Stripe subscription line freezes, enrollment status flips
  • Pause is reversible in one tap; withdrawal is a separate, explicit decision
