Paid placement
Disclosed. Always labelled.A sponsored seat in the AI Software arena, labelled as sponsored everywhere it appears. Sponsor order is determined only by price paid, among sponsors only; equal prices keep the earlier payment first. You buy the placement and a public click receipt — never a promised quantity of clicks, and never a position in any organic ranking.
A labelled seat in the arena and the public click receipt for your term.

Every slot reserves a labelled placement in the AI Software arena for launch. Full refund on request at any time before your slot goes live — no conditions, no forms.
Paid placement never touches the trending, community, or editorial rankings — a rule the data model will enforce before any ranking ships, not just the interface.
Clicks delivered to sponsors will be counted on our servers with bots filtered out before anything is reported. No marketing counters.
Every sponsored seat gets a published receipt of what was actually delivered. The methodology will be public on day one.
The Gate — the board money can't touch
Trending and community rankings are separate surfaces that money cannot reach. They ship when counted, bot-filtered attention has earned trust — an evidence gate, not a date — and traffic that arrives through paid placement is shown separately and excluded from any rank. That separation lives in the data model, not just the interface.
