Ad readiness without turning the product into an ad product
PortfolioSavvy may use cautious advertising to support a free public product. The operating rule is simple: usefulness comes first, sponsored inventory comes later, and research modules should not become ambiguous or spammy.
Updated April 16, 2026
Placement rules
- Sponsored slots are meant to appear only after real content begins or in low-density post-content locations such as the footer.
- Ads should not appear above the first meaningful content block on representative public pages.
- Ads should not split critical summary cards or break mobile layouts.
- Some pages stay ad-suppressed entirely when trust or readability matters more than monetization, including key trust/policy pages and the financial facts overview page.
Separation from research content
- Sponsored placements should be labeled clearly.
- Research summaries, rankings, explainers, and SEC-source modules are editorial product components, not sponsored recommendations, unless explicitly marked otherwise.
- The site should avoid layouts where an ad could be mistaken for a ranking card or source-backed insight module.
Measurement guardrails
PortfolioSavvy measures ad readiness cautiously. Useful signals include whether low-density slots were requested or rendered, whether engagement still happens after content appears, and whether trust pages continue to be visited.
Optional advertising and analytics storage is tied to consent handling rather than being silently granted by default.
