Churn prediction is a key application of data science in startups, enabling you to identify which customers are likely to leave and take proactive measures to retain them. By using machine learning models like **logistic regression**, you can analyze patterns in customer data and estimate the likelihood of churn. Equally important is understanding which features—such as `usage frequency`, `account age`, or `support requests`—most strongly influence the model's predictions. This knowledge empowers you to target interventions and optimize your product or service for customer retention.
