Implementation Tips
1
Provide cohort context (customer age, segment, value tier) so AI can identify meaningful patterns
2
Ask AI to separate expansion, contraction, and churn in the analysis—lumping them hides insights
3
Request correlation analysis with engagement metrics, not just raw renewal numbers
