# Riskweise — robots.txt
# We explicitly welcome AI-engine indexing because GEO (Generative
# Engine Optimisation) requires AI crawlers to read the content.
# This file is the right place to express that — not the place to
# block sensitive content (which shouldn't be on the public site
# in the first place).

# Default policy — every well-behaved crawler is allowed.

# AI / LLM crawlers — explicitly allowed.
# These are the bots that produce AI-generated answers on
# ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews, etc.
# Allowing them is a deliberate GEO strategy.
