revised: '2026-09-10'
summary: >-
NOTHING is served. Every /.well-known/ path was probed on the registrable domain, its www host,
the retired API/developer hosts named by Franklin Templeton's own OpenAPI, and the Benji digital
assets host. www.franklintempleton.com answers HTTP 200 to every /.well-known/* path with the
same 11,907-byte single-page-app shell it returns for a URL that does not exist, so those 200s
are MISSES, not documents. digitalassets.franklintempleton.com returns an honest 404 body of
"Not found". api.franklintempleton.com and developer.franklintempleton.com have no DNS A record
at all and could not be probed.
pointer_basis: >-
NO WellKnown pointer and NO SecurityTxt pointer are emitted. Not one path returned a 200 carrying
a real document. This file records a measured absence; it must never be read as a presence.

CONTROL PROBE: https://www.franklintempleton.com/thisdoesnotexist-xyz123 returns HTTP 200 with a
body of exactly 11,907 bytes and an empty
. Every /.well-known/* path on that host returns
the identical 11,907-byte body. A route that really exists on this host returns a 69,582-byte
shell with Franklin Templeton. Any future round that credits a
www.franklintempleton.com /.well-known/ 200 as a served document is wrong.

`host` field. It has no DNS A record as of 2026-09-10 (NOERROR/NODATA from the Cloudflare
authoritative nameservers for franklintempleton.com), so no HTTP probe is possible.
