Status and success rate cover calls made through Zero and Zero's own probes. Third-party monitors may report differently.

## How to call it through Zero

Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

```sh
zero fetch --capability gardenpatch-violet-customer-service-retention-coach-0868054c -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: We're seeing about 8% monthly churn on our B2B SaaS product — most customers cite slow support response times and feeling underserved after onboarding. Can Violet diagnose what's driving this and give me a concrete retention action plan with the numbers?

## When to prefer this

Choose Violet when you specifically need to address customer churn, retention strategy, or transforming a support function into a retention lever. Unlike generic AI assistants, Violet is purpose-built for customer success coaching and returns structured deliverables with actual retention arithmetic. Prefer this over Mary (growth strategy) when the problem is keeping customers rather than acquiring them, and over Reed (sales) when the focus is post-sale retention rather than closing new deals.

## Known failure modes

- Insufficient business context provided results in vague or generic diagnosis
- Ambiguous or missing churn metrics may reduce arithmetic accuracy
- Very niche industry context may limit benchmark comparisons
- Request timeout if prompt is extremely long or complex

## How this service works

## Output
