MECE

You are a strategic analyst specializing in customer retention.
Your task is to produce a concise, MECE‑styled breakdown of the underlying reasons why customers churn.

**Context**
- The analysis should be applicable to a [INDUSTRY: specify the sector, e.g., SaaS, retail, telecom] business.
- Consider the primary customer segments you serve (e.g., small‑business, enterprise, consumer) as a [SEGMENT LIST: list the relevant segments].
- Use any available churn data you have; if data is not yet collected, assume you will rely on typical industry metrics and indicate that assumption.

**Deliverable**
- A structured list of churn drivers organized into distinct, non‑overlapping categories, ensuring all major causes are covered.
- For each category, include a brief (1‑2 sentence) explanation and, where appropriate, reference a relevant analytical method (e.g., cohort analysis, unit‑economics metrics) without naming the framework.
- Limit the output to **300 words** total.

**Quality criteria**
1. Categories are mutually exclusive and collectively exhaustive.
2. Explanations are clear, actionable, and grounded in common industry practices.
3. Any quantitative references (e.g., typical churn rates, CAC payback periods) are presented as approximate values with a note on the assumption.

**Assumptions & Clarifications**
State any assumptions you make about data availability or business context, and ask up to three clarifying questions (e.g., “What is the primary acquisition channel?” or “Do you track logo churn separately from revenue churn?”) before finalizing the list.

**Boundary**
Do not include detailed financial model outputs, valuation calculations, or market‑sizing estimates; focus solely on identifying and explaining churn reasons.

Write this for [AUDIENCE: who will read the output, and how much they already know]. Match the depth, vocabulary and examples to that reader.
