Claims that losing 200 high performers costs about $15M/year (~$78k per high-performer) and shows a deployed Shiny dashboard that predicts individual attrition risk (example employee at 47% risk), built with tidyverse for prep and visualization, H2O AutoML (recipes + H2O) for modeling, and lime for per-employee explanations. The app surfaces actionable levers (stock options, training) for managers, reports reduced attrition from ~20% to ~9% and converts that improvement into millions saved.
