The Opportunity

Problem

Solution

ChurnShield connects to your user analytics to monitor time savings patterns across distributed teams. It uses ML to predict churn 2 weeks early based on savings drop-offs and suggests targeted interventions. Makers fix features proactively, boosting retention without guesswork.
