note: >-
  This records the lifecycle of the COMPANY AND PRODUCT, not of an API — Aidora never published
  one. It exists because the single most important fact about this provider is that it no longer
  operates independently, and because every link the catalog might otherwise carry for Aidora is
  now dead.

  disposition: >-
    Aidora's AI-native absence-management capability is being folded into the Paylocity HR platform
    rather than continuing as a standalone product.
  quote: >-
    "Aidora helps take that work off their plate by automating what has traditionally been manual,
    and giving HR teams more confidence in how they manage leave." — Toby Williams, CEO, Paylocity.
  financial_impact: >-
    Paylocity stated it does not expect the acquisition to have a material impact on first-quarter
    or fiscal 2027 results.

    state: holding-page
    note: >-
      Every path returns the same 24,165-byte acquisition notice, including paths that never
      existed. The former site (/features, /pricing, /integrations, /blog, /about-us,
      /security-standards, /terms-of-service, /privacy-policy, /startup-program, /announcements)
      is gone.
  application:
    url: https://app.getaidora.com/login
    status: 200
    state: operating
    note: >-
      Customer login still resolves and is distinct from the SPA catch-all. The acquisition notice
      states existing customers "will continue to receive the same support and service" during the
      transition, so the tenant application is live but is not a public surface.

    note: >-
      demo., qa., staging., cbn., crp. and prf..getaidora.com all still resolve and serve the same
      application build. uat-www.getaidora.com returns 401. emails.getaidora.com returns a
      Cloudflare 525 (TLS handshake failure with origin). Discovered via certificate transparency,
      recorded as infrastructure observation only.
versioning:
  scheme: null
  note: No API, therefore no versioning policy.
deprecation_policy:
  published: false
  sunset_header: false
  note: >-
    No RFC 8594 Sunset/Deprecation practice to record. The product end-of-life was communicated by
    press release and a site-wide holding page, not by a deprecation policy.
status_page:
  published: false
  note: No status page found on any Aidora host.
sla:
  published: false
  note: >-
    The only published SLA of any kind was a security-remediation SLA (high-priority findings in 3
    business days) on the archived security-standards page; captured in security/aidora-trust-center.yml.
