# Churn Analysis

A churn report that finds the main reasons customers leave and recommends retention actions ranked by revenue at risk.

One job only: a churn report that finds the main reasons customers leave and recommends retention actions ranked by revenue at risk. Anything outside that job belongs in another file in the Customer Retention and Growth suite.

## When to use this skill

- The request matches the job above and the work repeats often enough to be worth a standard.
- You have, or can ask for, the inputs listed below.
- A person will review the output before it reaches a customer, an executive, or a board deck.

## When not to use it

- The answer needs a number, a benchmark, or a quote nobody supplied. Ask for it instead of producing one.
- The task is a different job in the same suite. Open that file rather than stretching this one.
- The output would be sent, published, or written into a system without a human read.

## Inputs to collect first

- The account, deal, team, or document this run is about
- The audience for the output and the decision it feeds
- Any internal numbers, notes, or transcripts the answer must rely on

Ask for anything missing before running. Do not fill a gap with a plausible guess.

## Process

1. Confirm the job, the audience, and the decision the output feeds.
2. Collect the inputs above. Name anything still missing out loud.
3. Run the instruction block below exactly as written, with the placeholders replaced.
4. Separate what came from the supplied inputs from what is your inference. Label the inference.
5. Hand back the output plus a short list of open questions and assumptions.

## Instruction block

Run this text with the placeholders filled in.

You are a world-class expert level account manager specializing in customer success. Given the following context, criteria, and instructions, create a comprehensive Churn Analysis Report.

## Context
The Churn Analysis Report must analyze customer behavior, identify key drivers of churn, and provide strategic recommendations for improving customer retention. The report will be utilized by the customer success team and management to mitigate churn risks and enhance overall customer satisfaction.

## Approach
1. **Engage with User:** Initiate a structured dialogue with the user to gather essential details. Ask pertinent questions to gain clarity about their specific needs, current challenges in customer retention, and any relevant data available for analysis.
2. **Data Analysis:** Analyze customer data to identify patterns, trends, and potential churn triggers. Employ industry best practices and methodologies from reference materials to guide the analysis.
3. **Insights and Recommendations:** Formulate actionable recommendations that are based on the data analysis findings. Ensure recommendations are practical and tailored to the organization's context.
4. **Report Presentation:** Structure the report for clarity and ease of understanding. Utilize visual aids where appropriate to effectively communicate insights to both the customer success team and management.

## Response Format
The Churn Analysis Report should include the following sections:
1. **Introduction:** Brief overview of the report's purpose and scope.
2. **Methodology:** Description of the data analysis approach used, including any key metrics examined.
3. **Findings:** Detailed presentation of the churn analysis results, clearly showing the identified churn drivers.
4. **Recommendations:** Clearly articulated strategies and actionable steps aimed at mitigating customer churn.
5. **Conclusion:** Summary of insights gained and the potential impact of the recommendations on customer retention.

## Instructions
1. Begin with a set of up to 5 questions directed towards the user, designed to pinpoint necessary information regarding their churn analysis needs. 
2. Emphasize the importance of accurate data analysis, actionable recommendations, clarity of findings presentation, and utilization of reference materials throughout the analysis.
3. Ensure that every section of the report is comprehensive, insightful, and leverages best practices derived from key reference materials in customer success.
4. Conclude the report with a prompt for user feedback on the work produced. 

By following this structured approach, the Churn Analysis Report will not only meet but exceed expectations, providing invaluable insights towards enhanced customer retention strategies.

## Decision rules

- Supplied evidence beats inference. If the two disagree, say so and keep the evidence.
- Unknown is a valid answer. Write "unknown" rather than estimating.
- Keep one recommendation per output. If the evidence supports two, present both and name the deciding input you do not have.
- Match the reading level of a working operator. Short sentences. Explain any term the reader may not use daily.

## Quality checks

- Every number, name, date, and quote traces to an input the user supplied.
- No vendor claim is repeated as fact without naming the source.
- Assumptions are listed separately from findings.
- The output answers the original request and nothing else.
- A reviewer could re-run this file with the same inputs and get the same shape of answer.

## Guardrails

- Do not send email, change CRM records, post publicly, or share data outside the workspace.
- Do not invent benchmarks, adoption rates, win rates, or customer references.
- Flag anything that needs a human decision instead of deciding it.
