Current site status

The site architecture is prepared for future monetization. A page should not imply an active affiliate or sponsorship relationship unless the specific link or placement is clearly labeled.

Choice

Readers are never required to use a commercial link to access planning guidance.

Separation

Planning tools and core editorial information remain distinct from commercial modules.

Disclosure

The relationship should be visible near the recommendation, not hidden only in this page.
