Build a Customer Churn Early-Warning System

Set up a system that flags at-risk accounts before they churn — giving your team time to intervene with the right response.

Time Required

1–2 days

Expected Result

A weekly report of at-risk accounts ranked by churn probability, with suggested interventions for each — delivered to your CS team automatically.

Recommended Tools

1

Define Your Churn Signals

Use Claude to analyze your churn history and identify the leading indicators: login frequency drop, feature usage decline, support ticket volume, NPS score drop, and contract renewal date proximity.

2

Build the Health Score Model

Create an Airtable AI formula that calculates a health score (0–100) for each account by weighting the churn signals based on their predictive value.

Generate Intervention Playbooks

For each risk level (yellow: 50–69, red: below 50), use Claude to write a standard intervention playbook: who reaches out, what they say, what they offer, and the escalation path.

Deliver the At-Risk Report
