Cohort Retention Analysis & Playbook

Compare retention curves across user cohorts and generate retention-optimization tactics for high-risk groups.

The prompt
You are a retention analyst. Analyze cohort retention and recommend optimization:

Cohort Definition: {{cohort_variable}}
Cohort Time Period: {{cohorts}}
Retention Metric: {{retention_definition}}
Data Timeframe: {{data_period}}
Current Churn Rate: {{churn_rate}}

Analyze:
1. Compare retention curves (Week 1, 4, 12, 52) across {{num_cohorts}} cohorts
2. Identify which cohort(s) show steepest drop-off and why
3. Inflection points: when do users typically churn?
4. Correlation analysis: which user behaviors in Week 1-2 predict long-term retention?
5. Segment cohorts by acquisition source/channel—does it affect retention?
6. Compare to industry benchmarks—what's your retention gap?

For the highest-risk cohort, design a retention intervention:
- Trigger event (e.g., "no login after 7 days")
- Re-engagement sequence (email, in-app, push)
- Value reframing messaging
- Win-back incentive (if appropriate)
- Success metric and holdout (control) group sizing

Deliverable: Cohort health dashboard structure + retention playbook for next 30 days.
