peer agreement (net): -1Losing customers is inexcusable Explanation: This would be the literal translation, as far as I understand it. The entire German sentence would MORE than helpful! There's no measuring the impact of lost customers |

7 hrs confidence:
Customers won't share their data when they jump ship Explanation: Or: It's hard to get data from customers who jump ship. Of course, they'd like to how many customers they are losing but 'messbar' may also imply that once customers are gone, there's no data to explain why they've left (At what point did they switch? What triggered it? What was their patience threshold?) because the company no longer has access to their behavioral metrics. |

Departing customers are not measurable! Explanation: A more literal translation. "Departing customers" is a phrase used sometimes in English in this sense. (Different from the sense of customers at an airport!) "Not measurable" (nicht messbar) seems to be more appropriate than "immeasurable" (unmessbar). Exclamation mark to be retained! |
