1. Who We Are

These Terms of Use govern your access to and use of the AI Presence Papers site and all papers published at this domain ("the Site"). The Site is operated by Raise Presence LLC ("Raise Presence," "we," "us," or "our"). Kyanos is a product of Raise Presence LLC. Contact: ed@raisepresence.com.

2. Ownership and Copyright

All content on this Site — including but not limited to the papers published in the AI Presence Papers series, all text, analysis, frameworks, and original research — is the proprietary intellectual property of Raise Presence LLC.

© 2026 Raise Presence LLC. All rights reserved.

The specific expression, analysis, frameworks, terminology systems, and research presented in these papers is protected by copyright. The underlying ideas and concepts described (including the general concept of AI presence management) are not claimed as proprietary.

3. Permitted Use

4. Prohibited Use

5. Reading Is Welcome. Training Is Not.

You may retrieve, quote and cite these papers. Answer engines, search engines and research tools are welcome to read this Site, retrieve from it, and cite it in responses, provided the attribution names Raise Presence LLC and links to the paper. These papers argue that organisations should make their record legible to answer engines; it would be incoherent to publish that argument behind a rule against being read. A machine-readable summary is published at /llms.txt.

You may not use this content to train. It is excluded from use as training data, fine-tuning input, or evaluation material for any artificial intelligence system, language model, or machine learning application, by any party other than Raise Presence LLC, without prior written permission. The distinction is between citing a source and absorbing it: the first sends a reader back here, the second does not.

6. Accuracy and Disclaimer

These papers reflect the analysis and judgment of Raise Presence LLC as of their publication date. AI platforms, their capabilities, and their behavior change rapidly. Raise Presence LLC makes no warranty that the information in these papers is complete, current, or applicable to any specific situation.

Nothing in these papers constitutes legal, political, or professional advice. Campaign teams should consult qualified professionals for decisions affecting their specific races.

These papers contain references to AI systems (Google AI Overviews, Perplexity, ChatGPT, Microsoft Copilot, Gemini) that are operated by third parties. Raise Presence LLC is not affiliated with those companies, and those references do not constitute endorsement.

7. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Raise Presence LLC is not liable for any damages arising from your use of, or reliance on, the content of this Site. The Site is provided "as is" without warranty of any kind.

8. Links and Third-Party Content

This Site may link to third-party websites. Raise Presence LLC does not control those sites and is not responsible for their content or practices.

9. Changes to These Terms

Raise Presence LLC reserves the right to update these Terms of Use at any time. The effective date at the top of this page reflects the most recent revision. Continued use of the Site after changes constitutes acceptance of the revised terms.
