Live Claim #1 ladder
Same public board the advertiser console reads (sovereign-eu-cloud). Amounts below are live ranks — not research-paper Table 2.

Quote against the live ladder
Set a flat USD board amount. We show which live rank that amount holds. CPQA planning (amount ÷ answers you qualify on) lives in the advertiser console — this page never invents a paper #1.

Check my llms.txt · free
Unlimited re-checks. No auth. Permanently free — Admit(intent, llms.txt) never takes an amount.
The gate in public
Spec-v2 from llmstxt.org — rows 1–6 are the spec; 7–8 are our checks; 9 is planned later. A gate that counted links would just resell Google's ranking.
# Copperway Gateway > EU-sovereign, OpenAI-compatible LLM gateway. Inference in the EU, Article 28 DPA, PII vault before egress. Endpoints are drop-in compatible. Prices and residency guarantees are per-region; see Compliance for the DPA. ## Docs - [Quickstart](/gateway/quickstart): auth, base URL, first call - [Model list](/gateway/models): per-region availability ## Compliance - [Data residency](/gateway/residency): where inference happens - [Article 28 DPA](/legal/dpa): processor terms, sub-processors ## Optional - [Changelog](/gateway/changelog) - [Pricing basis](/legal/gateway-pricing)
- 1
H1 with the site or project name REQUIRED
The only required section in the spec. We read it as your identity — no other name is used on the card.
- 2
Blockquote summary after the H1 OUR GATE
Matched against the classified intent of the question. This single paragraph decides most admissions.
- 3
Free-form markdown before any H2 READ
Context on how to read the rest. Read, weighted lower than the blockquote. Headings are not allowed here.
- 4
H2 sections holding file lists READ
Markdown lists of [name](url) with an optional ': notes' after the link. Section names are your own taxonomy.
- 5
The H2 named exactly 'Optional' SKIPPED
Skipped when context is short — so we skip it too. Put changelogs and legal pages here, never your claims.
- 6
Root path /llms.txt PILOT
The current self-serve pilot fetches the advertiser domain's root file. Subpath files are not part of automated admission yet.
- 7
Fetchable: 200, no auth, no paywall OUR CHECK
Our requirement, not the spec's. UTF-8, served as text/plain or text/markdown. The automated preflight does not crawl H2 links; advertisers remain responsible for keeping them accurate.
- 8
Curated — we cap it at 10 KB OUR CHECK
The spec sets no size limit; we do. It is a briefing, not a sitemap, and dumping every URL dilutes the summary that decides your match.
- 9
/llms-full.txt and page .md variants LATER
The spec proposes .md page variants; llms-full.txt is a community companion. The current gate reads neither; admission uses root /llms.txt only.

Questions people actually ask
Terms · the whole of it
- 1You prepay one flat public USD amount for one board and one 30-day term. There is no subscription or automatic renewal.
- 2To take #1 you beat the current top by at least $5. A raise charges only the difference. Floor $5 — no reserve.
- 3Payment buys the public amount, not a guaranteed position. Being outbid does not restart or extend the term.
- 4Eligibility requires a valid /llms.txt on the domain you are advertising, reachable without auth. Admit never sees your amount.
- 5Checkout enforces a 120-character, third-person tagline without superlatives or guarantees. Display name must match the /llms.txt H1 and the HTTPS destination must stay on that domain.
- 6We never sell retrieval, citation order, context, or wording — at any price, to anyone, including ourselves. Ads only after the answer seal.
- 7No health, legal, or financial advice; no elections, crisis, or gambling/betting boards (casinos, sportsbooks, loot-boxes, trading signals). Not a threshold; a hard stop.
- 8Readers can switch sponsored cards off with free Neutral View. USEFUL is directional feedback only and never changes rank or inventory.
