AI in publishing: Your readers have long shown
what they would subscribe to

6 modules. 6 subscription problems every media house knows. 6 data-driven solutions built on the data you already have - paywall logs, usage data, newsletter clicks, subscription history and CRM. No external data, no new infrastructure.

Model calculation for a sample publisher with 25,000 digital subscriptions · conservatively estimated

Subscription numbers you can trace back

Based on a regional media house: €42M revenue, 55,000 print and 25,000 digital subscriptions, 900,000 unique users per month. Every figure is derived from the documented assumptions - the levers come from published industry benchmarks.

Revenue potential by module - overview

The subscription growth simulator

Set the sliders to your scale: the simulator projects the digital subscription base over 24 months - once with your current figures, once with the levers of the six modules.

Digital subscriptions today
Cancellation rate per month
ARPU per month
Paywall conversion
Additional subscriptions after 24 months
Additional annual revenue
Cancellations avoided in 24 months
Digital subscription base over 24 months - status quo vs. with AI modules

Model calculation, not a forecast: new subscriptions per month = paywall contacts × conversion; paywall contacts are set at 6 times the subscription base. The module levers match the assumptions derived in the modules: cancellation rate -20% relative (Modules 01 and 05), paywall conversion +30% (Module 02).

Note on the context of this portfolio

The following six modules use a fictitious regional media house (55,000 print and 25,000 digital subscriptions, €42M revenue) to show how data science can be applied across the subscription business - from the dynamic paywall to winback.

All euro figures are model calculations. They are derived transparently from clearly named assumptions (assumption baseline → lever → result). The levers follow published industry benchmarks (including Mather Economics, INMA, FT Strategies, Piano) and are deliberately conservative - no promises.

In a real project, knowledge of your house is the decisive factor: How is your paywall configured today? What data sits in the subscription system, CRM and web analytics? Where do you lose subscribers - at the start, in the base or on price? On that basis we build models that fit your reality.

This portfolio shows which questions data science can answer in publishing - the concrete answers emerge only with your data.
