Section SP.1
Who you reach
High-intent, at the decision
Security and risk leaders land here while pricing the impact of a breach and building the case for what to spend against it. Mid-decision, hard to reach, exactly the buyer you want in front of.
Cited by AI assistants
About 12% of visits now arrive from AI assistants, ChatGPT, Claude and Perplexity, citing this page, with unusually long reads. When a security leader asks an AI what a breach costs, your brand sits in the source it quotes.
The model is proven
Cribl is the founding sponsor of our sister site, siemcostcalculator.com, on this same disclosed, category-exclusive model.
Section SP.2
Independent by design
Rankings and comparisons here are never for sale, and the sponsor is never a vendor we evaluate. That is not a limitation, it is the point. Your brand sits next to research security leaders actually trust, disclosed plainly, which is worth far more than a slot they scroll past.
Section SP.3
What the sponsor receives
| Item | What that covers |
|---|---|
| One labelled strip | A single strip reading “Independent research, supported by X”, in plain language, on pages where no conflict exists. That is the whole placement. |
| Category exclusivity | One sponsor at a time, exclusive to the sponsor’s own category. No rotation, no second slot, no bidding. |
| Monthly performance report | A written report each month on how the site and the strip performed, sent directly rather than through a dashboard. |
| A founding rate | Early sponsors lock a founding rate that holds as the site grows. Terms are agreed by email, not published here. |
