  For the full bucket definitions used across percentage-based signals, see [Magnitude buckets](/buying-signals/concepts/magnitude-buckets).
</Note>

## Why it matters

Heavy churn signals instability worth understanding before you engage. Three or more senior departures in a quarter points to turmoil, a failed strategy, an acquisition shake-out, or culture problems. It feeds restructuring\_signal and the risk\_score.
