Purpose of the custom clusters
As the Lifetime Analytics application detects automatically churn, cross-sell and up-sell clusters, it allows to create or customize (edit a detected cluster) for custom analysis and marketing actions, like new promotions, new marketing product, legacy customer roll outs or comparing with external clusters.
The custom clusters are used exactly as the generated clusters (See Deep dive into cluster details for more details) with the same features.
