  note: >-
    status.rankscience.com is CNAMEd to 4672lgbq98xm.stspg-customer.com (Atlassian
    Statuspage) and redirects to https://rankscience.statuspage.io/inactive — the page
    is registered but INACTIVE. No StatusPage pointer is emitted in apis.yml, because an
    inactive status page is not an operational-transparency surface.

platform_history:
  summary: >-
    RankScience launched as a Y Combinator-backed SEO A/B testing PLATFORM and now
    operates as a services agency. The platform-era developer infrastructure is
    decommissioned: the API, dashboard and app hostnames still resolve in DNS but no
    origin answers on any of them, and the status page has been switched off. This is
    recorded as evidence of a retired API surface, not as a claim that an API exists.
  probes:

notes: >-
  No versioning policy, no deprecation policy, no Sunset/Deprecation header contract and
  no SLA are published, because there is no live API to attach them to.
