▸case-01 I've gathered several candidate hypotheses from our team's deductive and inductive analysis on customer churn in high-tier SaaS subscriptions:
1. Candidate A: Heavy feature usage drops 30 days before cancellation because key workflows fail under scale. (Mechanism: Unresolved technical friction; Falsification: Churn rates remain identical regardless of ticket volume).
2. Candidate B: Enterprise accounts cancel due to loss of account champion when executive sponsors leave. (Mechanism: Relationship gaps; Falsification: Accounts renew at same rate after champion departure).
3. Candidate C: Feature friction leads to reduced daily active usage prior to churn. (Mechanism: Friction in key workflows; Falsification: Usage drops without any prior bug reports).

I need a summary section, a deduplicated and ranked list of hypotheses containing full details (variables, mechanisms, limits, falsification tests, and measurements), a matrix or list mapping how the hypotheses relate to one another, and a recommendation on which candidate to prioritize for experimental testing. | fail→pass | 54,570 | 31,228 | -43% | 1 | 1 | 0% | 5,339 | 4,840 | -9% | 0 | 0 | — |
