Sponsorship policy

Sponsorship framework

What we accept: statute-aligned editorial placement on pages where the sponsor's offering is plausibly relevant to the reader.

What we don't: paid editorial, "best X" verdict-style sponsorship, "Verified X" badges, or lead-gen funnels disguised as content.

Sponsor tiers

• Trade-specific sponsorship — a single trade guide.
• State / region-specific sponsorship — a single state hub.
• Calculator-adjacent sponsorship — sidebar on a topically-aligned calculator.
• Network sponsorship — placement across a vertical of related pages.

Tier pricing is private. Inquire via Sponsor TaxKiln.

Vetting criteria

• Regulatory standing in the relevant jurisdiction.
• No active conflict of interest with editorial coverage.
• Alignment with the custodian thesis: information that strengthens the reader.

~3-5 sponsors per Kiln per quarter. We say no to ~80% of inquiries.

Editorial firewall

Sponsors don't influence editorial. Placement is labelled, never embedded in body copy. We don't run 'best X' verdict-style sponsorship, 'Verified X' badges, or lead-gen funnels disguised as content.
