Industry — Telecommunications

Subscription-based businesses with strong churn dynamics and usage-based identity (lines, accounts, households). Dominant use cases: bill-shock prevention, plan-upgrade prompts, retention offers when usage suggests churn risk.

Architectural implications. Account/household identity hierarchy is non-trivial — a single household has multiple lines, each with its own behavior. CDPs that model only individual identities may misalign with the real customer unit.
