# AI Tool Tank — Sponsor one-pager

**Audience:** People choosing AI tools for agents, vibe coding, daily shipping, tech, and games.  
**Cadence:** Weekly newsletter (Issue #1 drafted; list building via site signup).  
**Disclosure:** Every paid placement is labeled **Sponsored**. Editorial rankings are never pay-to-rank.

We do not invent or publish subscriber counts here. Ask for current list size and recent open/click metrics when you inquire — we share live numbers, not projections.

## What we need from sponsors

- Brand name and approved short copy
- Destination URL (we may append UTM tags)
- Disclosure-safe claims only (no fake rankings / “#1 on AI Tool Tank” unless earned editorially)
- Preferred issue date (weekly cadence)

---

## What we won’t do

- Sell ranking position or “best for” badges in editorial lists
- Send without an unsubscribe link or physical address (CAN-SPAM)
- Share the list or send on behalf of a sponsor without a clear Sponsored label
