# Refund Reason Cluster
## Skill Card
- **Category:** Post-purchase Analytics
- **Core problem:** What repeatable reasons are driving refunds and returns?
- **Best for:** Reducing avoidable refunds and preserving margins
- **Expected input:** Refund logs, return reason text, support transcripts, order metadata
- **Expected output:** Reason clusters with root-cause hypotheses and prevention actions
- **Creatop handoff:** Feed top reasons into product fixes + pre-purchase expectation copy
## Workflow
1. Normalize refund reason text and link to order/product attributes.
-
Cluster reasons by cause type (quality, fit, shipping, expectation, misuse).
-
Estimate avoidable vs unavoidable share with confidence notes.
-
Output prevention actions by short-term and long-term horizon.
## Output format Return in this order: 1. Executive summary (max 5 lines) 2. Priority actions (P0/P1/P2) 3. Evidence table (signal, confidence, risk) 4. 7-day execution plan ## Quality and safety rules - Separate policy fraud/abuse from genuine product dissatisfaction.
-
Highlight sample-size and data-quality caveats.
-
Prioritize high-frequency + high-cost clusters first.
