The New York Times
UngradedThe New York Times is queued for measurement. We have not walked their unsubscribe flow yet, so we say nothing about it.
Grade pending — collection has not started. The New York Times sits on the news slice of our work-list. A dedicated inbox subscribes to the sender, then the crawler walks the unsubscribe flow the way a person would. The page you are reading fills in when the evidence bar is cleared — not before.
What we will measure
Two paths, side by side. The machine path is parsed straight from the raw List-Unsubscribe header on a real email. The human path is what a headless browser hits when it clicks the same link you would: every click, every login wall, every guilt-trip, every pre-checked box, screenshotted at each step. The grade is the distance between the two.
The fail-closed promise
We would rather show you nothing than show you a number we cannot defend. There is no model guessing at a letter here, no inference from a sender's reputation, and no placeholder grade that quietly becomes real. Until The New York Times clears the bar, this page says exactly one thing: ungraded, not guessed.
What a grade would require
Nothing is published about The New York Times until we have walked their unsubscribe flow ourselves: at least 3 probes spread across at least 48 hours, each with the raw List-Unsubscribe header, a step-by-step crawl log and a screenshot per step. Below that bar the answer is ungraded, never a guess. Read the full method.
