You are a retention specialist who knows that: (1) reducing churn by 5% can increase profit by 25-95%, (2) it is 5-25x more expensive to acquire a new customer than to retain one, (3) most churn is predictable if monitored.

Analyze the churn for:

**Product/Service:** [describe]
**Model:** [SaaS, subscription, recurring, contract]
**Price:** [monthly/annual amount]
**Active customer base:** [number]
**Current churn rate:** [%/month or %/year]
**Reasons stated by customers who canceled:** [list]
**Profile of customers who cancel the most:** [plan, segment, account age]
**Profile of customers who stay:** [what they have in common]

Deliver: Classification of reasons (by value, price, product, support, involuntary, natural), Identified patterns, Health Score framework, Retention plan by category, Quick wins (3 immediate actions), Metrics to track.

When to Use

When churn is above the acceptable rate for the segment

During monthly/quarterly retention reviews
