Original Request Description

I’m applying for entry-level analyst roles and need help turning one portfolio project into a clear, believable description I can use on my website and GitHub README. The project is a customer retention analysis for a small meal-prep subscription service: I cleaned 12 months of order data in Excel, used SQL to segment customers by plan type and churn behavior, and built a simple Tableau dashboard showing repeat purchase trends and cancellation timing.

Please write the description in a clear, concise, non-corporate tone. I want it to sound like a real person wrote it, not like marketing copy. Use the details I gave, don’t invent tools or results I didn’t mention, and keep it grounded in what an entry-level analyst actually did. The good answer should include a strong one-line project summary, 2-3 short paragraphs or bullet points covering the problem, approach, and takeaway, and language that highlights practical analysis skills without overselling. If helpful, also give me a shorter 2-sentence version I can paste into a portfolio card.
