About

πŸš€ Built an AI-Powered Customer Retention System for the Zerve AI Hackathon! πŸš€

ChurnGuard Pro predicts which customers will churn 30-60 days BEFORE they leave - giving businesses time to save them.


πŸ“Š THE RESULTS:

βœ… 87.21% accuracy (ROC-AUC)

βœ… 57% recall - catches most churners early

βœ… $34.8M annual net benefit for 10K customers

βœ… Validated with 5-fold cross-validation


🎯 THE INNOVATION:

Most solutions just say "will they churn?"


ChurnGuard goes further:

- WHY they'll churn (risk factor analysis)

- PRIORITY scoring (risk Γ— customer value)

- PERSONALIZED recommendations (what to do about it)

- Risk levels (πŸ”΄ High / 🟑 Medium / 🟒 Low)


πŸ’‘ REAL RESULTS:

Test Case 1: 98% churn risk flagged β†’ $450K customer β†’ Immediate intervention

Test Case 2: 11% risk β†’ Loyal customer β†’ Efficient resource allocation


πŸ”§ TECHNICAL HIGHLIGHTS:

- 25 engineered features (age_risk_score, engagement_score, CLV)

- Ensemble model: Logistic Regression + Random Forest + Gradient Boosting

- Production-ready API with error handling

- Built entirely in Zerve AI in 5 days


πŸ“š KEY INSIGHTS:

1. Customers with 3-4 products = 100% churn (complexity kills!)

2. Inactive members = 2x churn rate

3. Feature engineering > fancy algorithms


This is my FIRST end-to-end ML project as a Business Analysis student. Combined business strategy + data science + production thinking.
