CLAIM YOUR AI VISIBILITY
========================

AI agents are already reading public business registry data to answer questions
about your company. Today they may also be reading third-party mirrors. We have
measured those mirrors getting it wrong: for one Florida company, a widely-indexed
site listed the wrong registered agent, and a general web search returned that
wrong answer first.

Claiming your record links YOUR domain to YOUR government filing, so what agents
read comes from you.

1. FIND YOUR RECORD
   GET https://private.rootz.global/api/resolve?q=YOUR+COMPANY+NAME&state=FL
   Note the "state" and "state_id" of the match.

2. START A CLAIM
   POST https://private.rootz.global/api/claim/start
        {"state":"FL","state_id":"G65116","domain":"yourcompany.com"}
   You get back a token.

3. PROVE YOU CONTROL THE DOMAIN  (any ONE of these)
   a) HTTP    serve the token at https://yourcompany.com/.well-known/rootz-claim
   b) DNS     add a TXT record at _rootz-claim.yourcompany.com with the token
   c) SIGNED  ed25519-sign the message we give you and send the signature

   These are NOT equivalent and we do not pretend they are. The method is
   recorded and shown to anyone reading the claim. A DNS record is harder to
   obtain transiently than a file; a signature can be checked offline by anyone.

4. VERIFY
   POST https://private.rootz.global/api/claim/verify
        {"state":"FL","state_id":"G65116","domain":"yourcompany.com"}

5. THEN TEACH AGENTS WHAT YOU DO
   Publish /.well-known/ai on your domain describing your business, products and
   services. Once your domain is claimed, that description is attributed to your
   registry record — a verified link between a legal entity and a website, which
   is something no crawler can establish on its own.

WHAT A CLAIM PROVES, EXACTLY
   That the operator of the domain asserts this registry record is theirs.
   It does NOT prove legal ownership of the business. Anyone who controls a
   domain can assert a link, so we report the method used and any independent
   corroborating signals, and let the reader judge. That is the whole point:
   measurements, not trust.
