Customers Lost During Period
The rate or percentage factor determines how the baseline value expands, discounts, or incurs expense over the modeled period.
New Customers Acquired
The timeframe or secondary parameter provides essential context, defining the duration or conditions under which the math operates.
How to interpret your results
