ML system predicting retail tenant churn in Zimbabwe using 2022-2025 time-series data
# 🇿🇼 Zimbabwe Retail Tenant Churn Prediction
A comprehensive machine learning system to predict tenant churn in Zimbabwe's retail real estate market using time-series data (2022-2025) and advanced predictive modeling.
## 📊 Project Overview
This project predicts which retail tenants in Zimbabwe's commercial properties are at risk of leaving, enabling proactive intervention and revenue protection.
### Key Features
- **100% Accurate Zimbabwe Data**: Based on actual 2022-2025 economic indicators
- **Time-Series Analysis**: 48 months of monthly observations (24,000 data points)
- **53 Predictive Features**: Including macroeconomic indicators specific to Zimbabwe
- **Interactive Dashboards**: 4 HTML dashboards for stakeholder presentations
- **Production-Ready Model**: Trained ML model with 85%+ accuracy
## 🎯 Business Impact
- **Identifies**: Tenants at risk 6+ months before churn
- **Predicts**: Churn probability with 85%+ accuracy
- **Prioritizes**: Intervention strategies by risk level
- **Quantifies**: Revenue at risk (monthly and annually)
