Case Study: How RunSmart Optimizes Member Retention Through Analytics Intelligence
Steve Gonser runs RunSmart—an online coaching platform for injured runners. His challenge isn't getting members. It's keeping them engaged when injury recovery is slow, frustrating, and requires patience.
Traditional analytics tell you what happened. Oksana's analytics intelligence tells you why it happened and what to do about it.
The Problem: Churn in the Recovery Valley
RunSmart's Reality:
Members join motivated (fresh injury or race goal)
Weeks 2-8: engagement drops as recovery slows
Critical decision point: Month 3
Members who reach Month 6 typically stay for years
The Analytics Blind Spot: Google Analytics shows:
Login frequency declining
Video completion rates dropping
Community engagement decreasing
But it doesn't tell you:
Which members are at risk
Why they're disengaging
When to intervene
How to re-engage them
Oksana's Solution: Predictive Engagement Intelligence
Oksana's Grid Analytics integration creates a predictive layer on top of behavioral data:
Real Implementation: Three-Tier Risk System
Low Risk (0-30):
Engaged, progressing well
Minimal intervention needed
Automated encouragement messages
Medium Risk (31-70):
Engagement declining
Recovery plateau likely cause
Personalized re-engagement:
Coach check-in
Content recommendations
Community connection prompts
Alternative training suggestions
High Risk (71-100):
Critical churn window
Immediate coach intervention
Personalized outreach
Specialized content delivery
Recovery plan adjustment offer
The Technology: Grid Analytics + M4 Intelligence
Grid Analytics API provides:
Real-time behavioral tracking
Cohort comparison
Conversion funnel analysis
Revenue attribution
M4 Neural Engine adds:
Pattern recognition across member cohorts
Predictive modeling (who will churn when)
Intervention timing optimization
Personalized recommendation generation
Privacy-First Processing:
All analysis on-device
Member data never leaves RunSmart servers
Predictions generated locally
Zero cloud dependency
Intervention Strategies That Work
1. Recovery Plateau Intervention
2. Community Disconnection
3. Content Mismatch
Results: From Reactive to Proactive
Before Oksana's Analytics Intelligence:
Identified churn after members already left
Generic re-engagement campaigns
~45% success rate on win-backs
Estimated $8K monthly revenue loss to preventable churn
With Oksana's Predictive System:
Identifies at-risk members 2-4 weeks before churn
Personalized intervention strategies
~78% success rate on risk mitigation
Reduced preventable churn by ~$6K monthly
More importantly: Steve reports feeling proactive instead of reactive. He knows who needs help before they realize they need it.
Key Insight: Timing is Everything
Oksana's most valuable capability: optimal intervention timing.
Traditional analytics: "Member hasn't logged in for 2 weeks"
Oksana's intelligence:
This precision transforms Steve's coaching efficiency. He focuses energy where it matters most, when it matters most.
The Business Model: Retention-First Economics
RunSmart's economics depend on retention:
Acquisition cost: ~$150/member
Break-even: Month 4
Profit: Months 5+
Lifetime value: $800-1,200
Every Month 3 churn prevented:
Saves $150 acquisition cost
Preserves $600-900 future revenue
Maintains community vibrancy
Strengthens referral potential
Oksana's predictive intelligence directly impacts the bottom line by preventing early-stage churn.

Steve's daily dashboard shows:
Why This Matters Beyond Fitness Coaching
Predictive analytics intelligence applies to any subscription or membership business:
SaaS Products:
Feature adoption patterns
Upgrade likelihood scoring
Churn risk prediction
Online Education:
Student engagement tracking
Drop-out prevention
Learning path optimization
Membership Communities:
Participation trend analysis
Connection facilitation
Value delivery optimization
Professional Services:
Client satisfaction monitoring
Renewal likelihood prediction
Expansion opportunity identification
The architecture is the same: behavioral data + M4 intelligence + personalized intervention = better retention.
Getting Started: From Data to Intelligence
Implementing predictive analytics requires:
Data Integration: Connect existing analytics (Grid, GA4, etc.)
Pattern Baseline: Analyze 3-6 months historical behavior
Risk Modeling: Train on known churn patterns
Intervention Design: Create response protocols
Feedback Loop: Track intervention effectiveness
With Oksana's M4-powered processing, setup takes days, not months. And the system improves continuously as it learns from outcomes.
Conclusion: Intelligence That Prevents Problems
RunSmart doesn't use Oksana to analyze what happened. They use it to prevent what would have happened.
The analytics aren't "dashboards and reports." They're actionable intelligence that tells Steve exactly who needs help, when they need it, and how to help them most effectively.
That's the difference between data and intelligence.
