  Nickelytics publishes no developer portal, so there is no versioning policy,
  deprecation policy, SLA or status page to capture. Recorded as measured
  absences, not omissions. The most consequential lifecycle fact is the
  company's own: Nickelytics was acquired by Kiwibot in September 2024, Kiwibot
  rebranded to Robot.com in 2025, and the product now ships as R-Ads — the
  nickelytics.com web root itself returns 404 while the API host,
  api.nickelytics.com, is still live on the same load balancer as
  api-ads.robot.com.
versioning:
  scheme: none-declared
  current: null
  docs: null
  evidence: >-
    The auth surface is mounted at /api/auth with no version segment; info.version
    1.1.0 is the Better Auth framework version. An undocumented /v1 product
    surface exists on the same host (401 Authorization header required).
deprecation:
  policy_url: null
  sunset_header: false
  evidence: no Sunset/Deprecation header, RFC 8594 support or policy page found
sla:
  url: null
  uptime_target: null
status_page:
  url: null
  evidence: status.robot.com and status.nickelytics.com do not resolve (DNS NXDOMAIN)
changelog:
  url: null
  evidence: no dated changelog or release-notes page on robot.com or nickelytics.com
