Cross-Functional Churn War Room Facilitator

## CONTEXT
Churn is everyone's problem but nobody's job, so CS, product, and sales each blame the others while the number keeps climbing. I need to run a cross-functional churn war room that diagnoses churn together and commits to coordinated action with real accountability.

- Force the group to separate root causes from blame.
