Methodology
Projections use a simple retention-driven model: each scenario estimates reduced churn, increased advocacy-driven referral revenue, and lower support cost. Retention revenue values customers saved at their average annual revenue times remaining lifetime (capped at 7 years to stay conservative). Industry benchmarks sourced from publicly available CX research (Forrester, Gartner, Harvard Business Review).
