# Valifye

> Public marketing site for Valifye — a **forensic market intelligence** product for founders. The homepage positions Valifye as a **Forensic Market Intelligence Engine**: structured audits on micro-SaaS and business niches (competitor mapping, demand signals, pricing gaps) that return **BUILD**, **PIVOT**, or **KILL** verdicts. Copy emphasizes data and methodology over opinions — not “AI-generated” framing in site metadata.

## Primary domain

- Canonical links in code default to `https://valifye.com`; this file uses **`https://www.valifye.com`** per site policy.

## Intelligence surfaces (indexed content)

## Out of scope for this repository

This repo is the **marketing** Next.js app only. There is **no** `/features`, `/pricing`, or `/contact` page route; no `/l/:slug` landing routes; no in-repo definitions of paid checkout, experiment runners, or app backend — those live elsewhere (e.g. `app.valifye.com`).

## Conventions for crawlers

- Dynamic SEO pages pull from Supabase-backed tables where configured; blueprint and tool pages may call Supabase edge functions.
- Use `llms.txt` + `sitemap.xml` under `/public` for URL discovery alongside on-site navigation (`valifye-navbar`, `valifye-footer`).
