A real-world example

For each user, which notification type will drive the highest engagement in the next 7 days?

Apps send the same notification mix to every user — promotional, social, transactional, content updates — at the platform's preferred frequency. Users who only engage with social notifications get bombarded with promotions. Notification opt-out rates climb to 40-60%, and each opt-out permanently kills a high-value engagement channel. For a consumer app with 20M users, reducing opt-outs by 10 points preserves $15-25M in lifetime engagement value.

How KumoRFM solves this

Relational intelligence for true personalization

Kumo ranks notification types for each user by learning from the full interaction-notification-user graph. It discovers that User U001 taps on social notifications within 2 minutes but ignores promotional ones, while users in U001's graph neighborhood have started engaging with content update notifications. The model balances engagement probability, fatigue signals, and cross-user patterns to produce a ranked notification queue per user.
