About the framework
Investigate a churn increase from several angles
The effect in this fishbone is labeled Customer Churn +18% Q3. Six branches cover Product, Support, Pricing, Competition, People, and Process, with two entries each. The sample connects release bugs and missing mobile features with support delays, a price increase, competitive changes, staffing turnover, and limited retention processes.
Specific entries include a buggy v3.2 release, a 48-hour average response time, a 15% Q2 price hike, and 40% CSM turnover. These are illustrative figures without underlying customer records. The effect label also leaves open whether +18% is a relative increase or a change in percentage points.
Use the diagram to plan a retention investigation. Define the churn measure and customer cohort, then attach cancellation reasons, support evidence, and dated product changes to the relevant branches. Prioritize evidence gathering before treating any one explanation as the cause.

Frequently asked questions
Common questions
What does Customer Churn +18% Q3 mean?
The sample does not define the baseline, churn denominator, or whether the change is relative or in percentage points. Replace the effect label with a precise measure and period.
Are the price hike and staffing figures verified?
No supporting data is included. They make the example specific but should be replaced with your own dated evidence.
How do I choose which branch to investigate first?
Add evidence availability and the affected customer cohort to each hypothesis. Use your cancellation and usage records to decide where to investigate rather than reading the diagram as a ranking.
