← All drillsBuilding a Customer-Segmentation Engine
What you'll be able to do- ✓Build a customer-segmentation engine that turns a table of customers into named, actionable segments
- ✓Implement K-Means from scratch (assignment + update) and see why it converges
- ✓Use k-means++ initialization for stable, higher-quality clusters
- ✓Choose the right number of segments with the elbow method and silhouette score
- ✓Engineer and scale RFM (Recency, Frequency, Monetary) features from raw transactions
- ✓Profile, name, and act on segments (high-value, at-risk, new)
Run a marketing team's segmentation playbook as code — turn a customer table into named segments (high-value, at-risk, new) instead of eyeballing a spreadsheet.
⌁ The engine behind the "segments" / "audiences" features in marketing & CRM analytics — Spotify, Amazon, Airbnb, HubSpot, Klaviyo — and behind customer analytics everywhere.
