Publication number: 20220335438Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for retaining user value by leveraging support interaction data. One of the methods includes receiving user support interaction data derived from specified user support interactions and user information not derived from the specified user support interactions. Expected value of the user to an entity is determined assuming the specified user support interactions did not occur and given that the specified user support interactions did occur. Action data is generated. The action data is generated based on the user support interaction data, the user information not derived from the specified user support interaction, the expected value of the user to the entity assuming the specified user support interactions did not occur, and the expected value of the user to the entity given that the specified user support interactions did occur. Action is taken based on the action data.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 18, 2022Publication date: October 20, 2022Inventors: Samuel Lessin, Andrew Kortina
