" summary

Financial Times targets subscriber growth by optimizing a measurable engagement metric: an RFV score 18.2 is the tipping point from borderline to engaged, and moving users past it predicts lower churn and higher lifetime value. Engineering teams build myFT personalization and run cohort analysis to prove causation; becoming a myFT user raises engagement by 86% (vs 30% for early adopters). Outcome: product changes tied to that metric help reach 1 million paying subscribers a year early.
