Search for any data assets related to 'churn prediction'.

I searched the Atlan catalog and found 5 matching assets for 'churn prediction': 1 Snowflake schema (`prod_churn_logs`), 2 Looker dashboards summarizing retention, and 2 verified glossaries defining the calculation metrics. What should I explore further?

What business glossaries do we have configured in our metadata?

Your organization operates 4 primary active glossaries on Atlan: `Core Finance KPIs`, `Marketing Attribution Rules`, `Engineering Data Contracts`, and `Regulatory Policies`. Their respective term counts vary per domain structure.
