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
