Telecom Revenue & Churn Forecasting
This AI application predicts customer churn and its revenue impact across telecom subscriber bases, products, and segments. By identifying at-risk customers early and quantifying the expected revenue loss, it enables targeted retention offers, optimized pricing, and proactive service interventions that directly protect and grow recurring revenue.
The Problem
“Forecast churn and revenue at risk across subscribers, plans, and segments”
Organizations face these key challenges:
Retention campaigns are broad and discount-heavy because at-risk customers aren’t identified early enough
Churn analysis is backward-looking (monthly reports) with weak linkage to revenue impact
Data silos (CDR/usage, billing, network QoE, CRM) cause inconsistent churn metrics and slow experimentation
High false positives lead to wasted offers; high false negatives miss preventable churn

AutoML Churn & Revenue-at-Risk Baseline
Stand up a baseline churn model using existing subscriber snapshots (billing + usage + tenure) and generate a ranked list of at-risk customers. Revenue impact is estimated as probability-of-churn × next-bill estimate (or segment ARPU) to produce an initial “revenue at risk” view for retention prioritization.

Key Challenges
- ⚠Ambiguous churn definition across prepaid/postpaid and products
- ⚠Temporal leakage from using post-churn features (e.g., collections events after churn)
- ⚠Class imbalance and poorly calibrated probabilities
- ⚠Revenue proxy quality (ARPU vs invoice vs expected LTV)
