New signups this month (so we can calculate true churn)
💡

Why we need new members: If you started with 200, added 8 new, and ended with 195, you actually lost 13 members (200 + 8 - 195 = 13). Without knowing new signups, we can't calculate true churn.

The hidden cost: Every churned member isn't just lost revenue—it's also the $50-$150 you spent to acquire them. Plus, it costs 5-7x more to acquire a new member than to keep an existing one. Retention is your highest-ROI investment.
