  # The Note 14 failure, applied to ourselves: in two external probes
  # (2026-07-27 pilot, 2026-08-01 five-assistant review) agents resolved

  # instead. This row is the product doing its job on its own maker.

facts:
  what_you_sell: >
    An agent-readiness package for a business website: a homepage fact block
    that answers the questions buyers ask, a where-to-go index for agents, a
    machine-readable fact sheet at llms.txt and llms-full.txt, an identity card,
    robots.txt pointers, structured data for search, and a before/after
    measurement of what agents recover from your site. Every surface is
    generated from one signed-off profile, so no two can disagree.
  buy_or_rent: >
    The package is bought once and is yours to keep, including the source files.
    Monthly monitoring and the update loop are a subscription you can stop at
    any time; stopping it leaves everything installed and working.
  coverage: >
    Delivered remotely and installed on any platform that lets you paste HTML
    and upload two text files. We hand you a kit to install yourself, or we
    install it for you.
  since_when: >
    Measuring how agents read business websites since June 2026, across 12 real
    company sites and several hundred recorded agent visits. Forty-one numbered
    measurement notes, retractions included.
  credentials_meaning: >
    No badge, no accreditation: every number we publish cites the numbered note
    that produced it, and those notes record the failures, the retractions and
    the two claims we killed ourselves. If a claim on this site has no citation
    beside it, hold us to it.
  industries: >
    Agencies installing this for their own clients, contractors and trades,
    manufacturers and equipment suppliers, professional services firms, and any
    business whose buyers now ask an assistant before they ask a human.
  after_sale: >
    A one-page install guide written for your platform, a before/after audit of
    what agents recover from your site, daily drift checks on the served bytes,
    a pooled re-audit every month, and the update loop: when a fact changes you
    edit one profile and every surface regenerates in a single run. Anything
    you bought outright keeps working whether or not a subscription does.
  extra_facts:
    # The rename question, first while the transition is live: an assistant
    # holding the old association must find the bridge before anything else.
    - question: Are you the same company as AIgentSphere?
      answer: >
        Yes. AIgentCandor is the new name of AIgentSphere, renamed on
        2026-08-01 to end a persistent name collision with an unrelated
        company. Same operator, same methodology, same measurement records —
        fact sheets v1 through v14 were issued under the old name and remain
        frozen and unedited at their original address. aigentsphere.ai now
        redirects here permanently.
    # FIRST among the originals, and first on purpose. Note 12: eight sites, 48 agent visits, not
    # one agent could find a price. It was our headline finding and our own
    # fact sheet published a LINK to a pricing page instead of a price, which
    # is the exact failure. A link is not an answer to "what does it cost".
    - question: What does it cost?
      answer: >
        The free audit costs nothing. Audit + Kit is 149 USD once and is yours
        to keep, including the source files. Agent-Ready is 149 USD per site
        per month. Pro is 199 USD per site per month. Additional sites are
        about a third less each; five or more is a conversation rather than a
        checkout. Managed starts at 500 USD per month and is scoped in a
        conversation. Prices are in US dollars and are published on the order
        page in the same numbers.
    - question: What exactly do I get?
      answer: >
        Eight surfaces from one profile, plus a manifest that records who signed
        the facts off and when: the homepage fact block, the where-to-go index,
        the identity card, llms.txt, llms-full.txt, robots.txt additions,
        structured data, and a hosted version-history page.
    - question: Does this change how my website looks?
      answer: >
        No. The fact block wraps the paragraph your homepage already shows under
        its headline, keeping your own typography. A visitor sees no change; a
        click opens a small panel of plain facts.
    - question: How do you know it works?
      answer: >
        Measured, not asserted. In the strongest arm, agents recovered 78 per
        cent of a site's key facts with the block in place against 30 per cent
        without it, and they stopped after an average of 1.1 pages. On a live
        client site, two facts that had been unrecoverable went to full
        recovery, and the two we deliberately left out stayed unrecovered.
    - question: What does this have to do with Google?
      answer: >
        Google's page-quality tooling now audits websites for agent-readiness,
        including whether the site publishes a machine-readable fact sheet in
        the expected format. The package passes the llms.txt and page-structure
        checks of Google's agent-readiness audit; the WebMCP audits cover
        interactive tools a fact package deliberately does not install. Three
        of the six audits in that category are WebMCP checks, so nobody should
        read this as a clean sweep. We make no claim that any of it improves
        search position.
    - question: What happens when a fact changes?
      answer: >
        You tell us the change. One command edits the profile, regenerates every
        surface, adds a new version to the published history, and re-runs the
        audit. Hand-editing one file is how a website ends up telling agents two
        different prices, which is the most common defect we find.
    - question: What is the version history for?
      answer: >
        Every version of your fact sheet is hashed and published with its hash,
        superseded versions included, so the history is tamper-evident: change a
        byte and the fingerprint changes with it. Anchoring those hashes in a
        public ledger is the step that adds an independent timestamp, and it is
        not live yet, so our own history page reads timestamp pending on every
        row. It never verifies identity, and it never attests that the facts are
        true.

        have nothing to do with your site, so we publish a delta only when it
        is outside that band. Also: a re-check triggered when your pages
        change, three competitor slots, and priority in the queue.

        there is no checkout for this one.
