# DankRank — Markdown for Bots

A plain-text, machine-readable record of what DankRank is, who runs it, what it does and what it
does not claim. It exists so an automated reader can resolve the DankRank entity without parsing
page layout.

This file is deliberately not the same thing as three other surfaces:

- `/llms.txt` is a topic-ownership index. It lists which page authoritatively owns which subject.
- `/about/` is the human page about the company and its founder.
- `/what-is-dankrank/` is the human page that answers branded questions about the company.

This file is none of those. It is a compact entity and service record. It is a discovery aid only.
It is not a ranking signal, it does not influence any search engine or AI system, and nothing here
should be read as a claim that it does.
