## 📤 Output

The model predicts whether a customer is likely to churn:

```text
Prediction: Churn / No Churn
Probability: <VALUE>
```

## 💻 Run Locally

```bash
git clone https://github.com/mdzaheerjk/Telecom-Customer-Churn-Prediction.git

cd Telecom-Customer-Churn-Prediction

pip install -r requirements.txt

streamlit run app.py
```

## 🛠️ Tech Stack

**Python • Pandas • NumPy • Scikit-learn • Matplotlib • Seaborn • Optuna • Streamlit**

## ⚠️ Limitations

Model performance depends on the quality, representativeness, and distribution of the training data.

Predictions should be treated as **decision-support signals**, not guaranteed outcomes. Real-world performance may differ when customer behavior or telecom market conditions change.

## 🔮 Future Improvements

* Advanced ensemble models
* Real-time churn monitoring
* Explainable AI with SHAP
* Automated model retraining
* MLOps monitoring
* Customer-specific retention recommendations
