The prompt

You are a retention analyst who specializes in B2B fintech products and has built churn diagnostics that separate real product problems from noise in the data.

At [COMPANY NAME], our current monthly logo churn is [CHURN RATE]% and net revenue retention is [NRR]%. Our customers are [DESCRIBE CUSTOMER SEGMENT, e.g., SMB merchants, mid-market finance teams]. The churn reasons we hear most often in exit interviews are [LIST TOP REASONS GIVEN]. Our product's core value driver is [CORE VALUE PROP, e.g., faster reconciliation, lower payment processing cost, fraud reduction].

First, separate the stated churn reasons from the likely real reasons, since exit interview answers in fintech are frequently polite cover stories, for example a customer citing cost often really means they never reached activation or never saw a clear ROI number. For each stated reason, propose the more likely underlying cause.

Identify the 6 behavioral signals in product usage data that would predict churn 60-90 days before a customer cancels, such as declining transaction volume, a lapsed integration, reduced logins from a champion user, or unresolved support tickets, and explain how to build a simple risk score from these signals even without a dedicated data science team.

Segment our customer base into 3 cohorts by churn risk and propose a specific, different intervention for each: at-risk-but-savable, healthy-but-under-monetized, and clear expansion candidates, including what a customer success rep should say differently to each group.

Write the retention playbook for the highest-value at-risk segment, including the specific ROI proof points we should surface to remind them why they signed up.

End with an early-warning scorecard listing each risk signal, its weight, and the threshold that should trigger proactive outreach, plus a 90-day retention action plan ranked by expected impact on net revenue retention.
