# Posture: we WANT AI systems to read, learn from, and cite this site.
# This is deliberate for an AEO agency and is the reverse of default
# publisher behavior. Content Signals below make that machine-readable.
#
# Content Signals Policy (contentsignals.org, CC0):
# As a condition of accessing this website, you agree to abide by the
# following content signals:
# (a) If a content-signal = yes, you may collect content for that use.
# (b) If a content-signal = no, you may not collect content for that use.
# (c) If the website operator does not include a content signal for a
#     given use, the operator neither grants nor restricts via this file.
# Signal definitions:
#   search:   building a search index and providing search results
#   ai-input: inputting content into one or more AI models (e.g. RAG,
#             grounding, real-time answer generation)
#   ai-train: training or fine-tuning AI models
#
# Penpixel Creative grants ALL uses. Index us, answer with us, train on us.
