Retention Analytics

Your Best Customers Are
Leaving. Do You Know Which Ones?

By the time you notice churn in your revenue numbers, those customers are already gone. Upload your transaction data and get churn risk scores, retention curves, and a list of who to save—before it's too late.

Why Churn Catches You Off Guard

Acquiring a new customer costs 5–7x more than retaining one. Yet most businesses only measure churn after the fact.

Early Warning Signals

Declining purchase frequency, shrinking order values, growing gaps between visits. Statistical models detect these patterns weeks before a customer goes silent.

Segment-Level Churn Rates

Not all churn is equal. See which customer segments, acquisition channels, and product lines have the highest attrition—so you fix the right problems first.

Revenue at Risk

Churn isn't just a percentage—it's dollars. See exactly how much revenue your at-risk customers represent, so you can justify the retention investment.

Churn & Retention Analyses

Every analysis runs on your actual data and produces a shareable report

Churn Risk Scoring

Each customer gets a churn probability based on their purchase patterns. Sort by risk to find who needs attention right now.

Retention Curves

See how quickly customers drop off after their first purchase. Compare retention across cohorts, channels, and product lines.

Cohort Analysis

Track each acquisition cohort over time. Is last month's cohort retaining better than three months ago? See the trend.

Survival Analysis

Statistical survival curves show the probability of a customer remaining active at each time point. Median customer lifetime, hazard rates, and survival by segment.

RFM Segmentation

Segment customers by Recency, Frequency, and Monetary value. Identify champions, at-risk, hibernating, and lost customers automatically.

Revenue at Risk

Calculate the dollar value of customers flagged as high churn risk. Quantify what you stand to lose without intervention.

Repeat Purchase Analysis

What percentage of customers come back? Track first-to-second purchase conversion and repeat rates by cohort and segment.

Inter-Purchase Timing

How long between purchases is normal? Detect customers whose gaps are growing—a leading indicator of churn.

Churn Driver Analysis

Which factors predict churn? Statistical models identify whether it's price, product mix, support interactions, or acquisition channel driving attrition.

Key Insights

412 customers show high churn risk (>70% probability)

These customers haven't purchased in 45+ days and their purchase frequency has declined by 60%. Collectively they represent $89K in projected annual revenue.

Paid search cohort churns 2.3x faster than organic

Customers acquired via paid search have a 47-day median lifetime vs. 108 days for organic. This suggests paid traffic is attracting deal-seekers rather than loyal customers.

Second purchase within 14 days predicts 3x higher retention

Customers who make a second purchase within two weeks of their first have a 78% chance of becoming long-term buyers. Consider a post-purchase incentive in this window.

Churn Analysis FAQ

What data do I need for churn analysis?

At minimum, you need a CSV with customer ID and transaction or activity dates. For richer analysis, include transaction amounts, product categories, subscription status, and support interactions. MCP Analytics works with exports from Shopify, Stripe, WooCommerce, Chargebee, or any CRM.

How does churn prediction work without machine learning expertise?

MCP Analytics runs the statistical models automatically. It analyzes purchase recency, frequency trends, and inter-purchase intervals to calculate a churn probability for each customer. Results are presented in plain English with specific recommendations, not raw model outputs.

Can I use this for subscription businesses?

Yes. Upload your subscription billing data and get MRR churn rates, cohort survival curves, and predicted churn timing. The analysis identifies which subscription tiers, acquisition channels, or customer segments have the highest churn risk.

How early can churn be predicted?

It depends on your data depth. With 6+ months of transaction history, MCP Analytics can flag at-risk customers 30–60 days before they would typically churn. Early warning signals include declining purchase frequency, decreasing order values, and growing gaps between transactions.

What's the difference between churn analysis and retention analysis?

Churn analysis focuses on predicting which individual customers will leave and why. Retention analysis looks at aggregate patterns: how cohorts retain over time, what your overall retention curve looks like, and whether retention is improving. MCP Analytics provides both in a single report.
