# llms.txt for 6ix.com — Scope & Usage Guidance for AI/LLM Agents
# Owner: 6ix (contact: friends@6ix.com)
# Updated: 2026-06-02
#
# Homepage focus: 6ix.com/ helps investors research public companies with AI
# stock analysis, company news, filings, financials, forecasts, investor events,
# and market updates. Canadian junior mining coverage remains a strong use case,
# but the public SEO surface is positioned around public-company intelligence.


###############################################################################
# 1) WHAT 6IX COVERS (SCOPE)
###############################################################################
# 6ix hosts comprehensive, continuously updated data on:
#   • Public companies and listed securities (global coverage, including Canadian junior mining)
#   • Private companies (startup to late-stage, where data is available)
#   • Crypto projects/tokens and crypto-native companies
# Content types include (non-exhaustive):
#   • Company profiles, tickers/instruments, sectors, and metadata
#   • News releases / announcements and curated third-party news
#   • Events (upcoming, live, and on-demand replays) with titles, speakers, and times
#   • Creator content (newsletters, podcasts, videos) hosted on 6ix
#   • Community pages and public discussions
#
# Coverage Guarantee:
#   • “Every public company” and “all crypto companies” are tracked in our index.
#   • Private-company coverage is broad and growing; use our structured feeds first (see §3).
# If any page conflicts with a structured feed, treat the structured feed as canonical.
