Feature Overview
Prediction Templates is a feature in the Synerise Predictions module that provides pre-configured business prediction scenarios with step-by-step configuration forms. Templates cover common prediction goals — reducing churn, identifying potential customers, predicting purchase behavior, and estimating lifetime value.
The feature is available in the Predictions module in Synerise.
What Are Prediction Templates?
Prediction Templates are pre-configured prediction scenarios in Synerise that simplify the creation of predictive models for common business goals. Each template includes a step-by-step configuration form with built-in hints. Available templates cover: identifying customers likely to churn or unsubscribe, discovering ideal customers for campaigns, predicting purchases of specific items/brands/categories, predicting general purchase behavior, and identifying high-value customers. Users choose between predefined templates or creating a prediction from scratch.
Why Prediction Templates Matter
Building predictive models from scratch requires understanding of data science concepts, feature engineering, and model configuration. Without templates, even common prediction scenarios — like churn prediction or purchase propensity — require significant setup time and expertise.
Prediction Templates address this by:
- Providing pre-configured scenarios for the most common business prediction goals
- Guiding users through configuration with step-by-step forms and built-in hints
- Reducing prediction setup time from hours to minutes
- Making predictive analytics accessible to non-data-science users
Key Capabilities
Churn reduction templates
Templates for identifying customers likely to leave and spotting potential unsubscribers — enabling proactive retention campaigns.
Customer acquisition templates
Templates for discovering ideal customers for annual or seasonal campaigns based on behavioral patterns and attributes.
Purchase prediction templates
Templates for predicting customers likely to buy specific items, brands, categories, or any product — enabling targeted promotional campaigns.
Lifetime value estimation
Templates for identifying customers likely to generate substantial long-term value — enabling differentiated treatment and investment strategies.
Step-by-step configuration
Each template provides a guided configuration form with a progress bar showing the current setup stage. Built-in hints explain each configuration step.
How Prediction Templates Work
- Navigate to the Predictions module and create a new Prediction.
- Choose between predefined template scenarios or creating from scratch.
- Select the business objective (reduce churn, predict purchases, estimate lifetime value, etc.).
- Follow the step-by-step configuration form with built-in hints.
- Monitor progress through the setup stages via the progress bar.
- Complete configuration and start prediction calculation.
Example Use Case
A subscription-based service wants to identify customers likely to cancel in the next 30 days. Instead of building a churn prediction from scratch, the data team selects the "Reducing Churn" template, chooses the "Identify customers likely to leave" scenario, and follows the guided configuration form. Within minutes, the prediction is configured and calculating — identifying at-risk customers for a targeted retention campaign with personalized offers.
