Implementation Phases
1
Data Preparation & Integration
4-6 weeks
Activities
- Collect historical and real-time customer data from CRM, POS, loyalty programs, support logs, billing, and engagement systems
- Cleanse data: remove duplicates, fill missing values, standardize formats
- Integrate data into a unified Customer Data Platform (CDP) with unified profiles
Deliverables
- Unified Customer Data Platform
- Cleaned and integrated customer dataset
Success Criteria
- Data integrity and completeness above 95%
- Successful integration of data sources into CDP
2
Feature Engineering & Reason Detection
3-4 weeks
Activities
- Identify churn-relevant features: demographics, purchase frequency, basket size, coupon usage, engagement metrics
- Incorporate support and billing data to detect churn reasons
- Develop customer lifetime value (CLV) and risk scoring features
Deliverables
- Feature set for churn prediction
- Churn reason detection framework
Success Criteria
- Identification of at least 10 relevant features
- Successful integration of churn reasons into the model
3
Model Development & Validation
4-6 weeks
Activities
- Select and train predictive models (e.g., XGBoost, random forests, neural networks)
- Use cross-validation and metrics like accuracy, precision, recall, F1 score
- Back-test models on historical churn data for robustness
Deliverables
- Trained predictive churn model
- Model validation report
Success Criteria
- Achieve model accuracy of at least 70-75%
- Successful back-testing results with historical data
4
Deployment & Automation
3-5 weeks
Activities
- Deploy models on ML platforms with automated pipelines for scoring and retraining
- Implement automated retention campaigns triggered by high-risk scores
- Use orchestration agents to manage data flow and model updates
Deliverables
- Deployed churn prediction model
- Automated retention campaign workflows
Success Criteria
- Successful deployment of model with real-time scoring
- Implementation of at least 2 automated retention campaigns
5
Reporting & Insights
2-3 weeks
Activities
- Develop dashboards visualizing churn risk segments and reasons
- Provide actionable insights for marketing and customer success teams
- Enable real-time alerts for at-risk customers
