Sponsored content
The current launch inventory contains no sponsored content. This page explains the rule for any later placement.
A paid article or placement is labelled in the visible content area as sponsored content, advertising or a similar plain term. The reader should not have to infer the commercial relationship from a footer or icon.
A campaign link uses rel="sponsored" and is recorded with a target, sponsor, start date and review date. Paid content does not receive a neutral editorial disguise, and an advertiser cannot rewrite an independent article.
The empty launch inventory is a fact about this build, not a promise that future commercial work is impossible. Each later placement needs a fresh check.
