## Methodology

A simulated cohort study of 1,200 US connected bike owners conducted on the Minds platform reveals that subscription fatigue peaks at month three, driven by content repetition and rigid billing cycles. Validated against historical Kantar consumer benchmarks, the simulation demonstrates that multi-discipline engagement reduces annual churn risk by up to 60 percent.
