Question 1

What is ATLAS?

Accepted Answer

ATLAS is the verified route layer for the AI ecosystem. You enter a goal and ATLAS returns a verified path, a recommended stack, an evidence receipt, rejected alternatives, pricing assumptions, commercial-rights caveats, and an agent-readable contract.

Question 2

Does paid placement affect ATLAS scores?

Accepted Answer

No. Paid placement never affects an ATLAS score. It is a non-negotiable product principle, enforced in code and by automated tests.

Question 3

How does ATLAS keep its scores fresh?

Accepted Answer

ATLAS applies per-signal freshness decay (pricing 14 days, trend 7 days). When a signal goes stale, ATLAS blocks the score from display rather than showing a confident but outdated number — there is no score without a freshness check.

Question 4

Can AI agents use ATLAS?

Accepted Answer

Yes. ATLAS is built for humans and AI agents alike. Agents can read /agents.json and /.well-known/llms.txt for capabilities, and query the Model Context Protocol (MCP) server over JSON-RPC 2.0.

ATLAS — the right AI tools, and a plan to use them.
