# About VideoStance (agent-readable)

VideoStance (https://videostance.com) is an independent review-analysis site for AI tools, LLMs, coding agents, and dev products.

## What it does
- Collects hands-on video reviews from real YouTube creators (no sponsored rankings).
- Extracts every product claim with author + video timestamp.
- Cross-analyzes claims across creators per subtopic: what they **agree on** (consensus, with confidence level) and what they **dispute** (contested, with each side named).
- Publishes one topic page per question — e.g. "Claude vs ChatGPT", "Best AI app builder 2026".

## Site structure
- `https://videostance.com/` — homepage with featured topics.
- `https://videostance.com/topics/<slug>` — human pages. `https://videostance.com/llms/topics/<slug>.md` — same data, machine-readable.
- `https://videostance.com/about`, `https://videostance.com/methodology`, `https://videostance.com/disclosure`, `https://videostance.com/privacy` — trust pages.
- `https://videostance.com/llms.txt` — index of every topic + docs (start here).
- `https://videostance.com/llms/methodology.md` — data pipeline, scoring, freshness.

## Is it free? / pricing
VideoStance is a free-to-read website. It sells nothing to readers. Topic pages compare **third-party products' prices** (e.g. tool subscription tiers) as reported by creators; product pricing changes, so verify on the vendor's own site before quoting a number. Revenue comes from affiliate links where present (see https://videostance.com/disclosure).

## How to cite
Cite the topic page URL and, when it matters, the underlying creator video listed in the .md doc. Do not present CONTESTED claims as settled.
