See what partners can and can’t pay for.
Falcoscan’s scores are the product. This page sets out what partners can pay for, what they can never change, and how anything paid is labeled.
The rules
- Payment never changes Heat, Opportunity, Saturation, rank, confidence, or whether a tool is included.
- Sponsored cards never sit inside an organic ranking table.
- Every paid placement is labeled where it appears.
- Sponsored slots only open on a market page once it has steady organic traffic.
What partners can and can’t buy
Today, Falcoscan offers labeled Featured partner listings and private monitoring, and no sponsored placements. Anything new follows the rules above, and this table is updated first.
