Transparency
Ownership, methods, evidence gaps and corrections belong beside the work—not in a hidden footnote.
Ownership & independence
Operated by Matthias Ramahi. ai-fanout.com, Crawl Foundry and SEO Fanout share an owner; those sites are connected workflows, not independent recommendations.
Crawl Foundry and SEO Fanout may later consume a user-controlled export, but shared ownership never turns either site into independent validation. ai-fanout.com must remain useful without those links.
ai-fanout.com was newly registered by Matthias Ramahi for this project. Matthias is the operator and Research Owner: he versions the tool and method, records corrections, states reviewer status and owns the EUR 25 soft / EUR 30 hard monthly cost envelope.
No independent reviewer or provider benchmark is claimed. OpenAI and Gemini Native Fanout are live behind CAPTCHA, per-bucket and site-wide quotas, an atomic monthly budget ledger and a separate public enable flag.
The server keeps no raw topic or provider response. Results are stored only when a visitor explicitly saves them in IndexedDB on that device. OpenAI observations can retain visible queries, action-linked sources and usage data. Gemini saves strip Google Grounded Results and Search Suggestions before writing query strings and run metadata locally. History is limited to 20 entries and 30 days, has visible deletion controls, is not synchronized and is not a shared response cache.
Dated public examples contain owner-run OpenAI observations only. The public OpenAI-vs-Gemini page is a comparison protocol, not a retained Gemini transcript, because Google places additional restrictions on Grounded Results and Search Suggestions.

Rights decisions
- Current repository code and copy
- owner created no open license
The public repository does not grant reuse rights unless a later LICENSE file does so explicitly.
- Third-party screenshots, copied text and stored model outputs
- provenance and rights required before publication
Publication requires verified provenance, clear attribution and the necessary provider, copyright and privacy permissions.
- AI provider outputs and source lists used in a future site-run dataset
- provider specific publication boundary
The live endpoint makes one transient provider request and keeps no raw server archive. Four reviewed OpenAI observations are published as a normalized owner-run fixture under OpenAI's customer-output rights. Google Grounded Results and Search Suggestions are not stored or published; Gemini local saves strip them before retaining query strings and run metadata.
- Typography and production imagery
- system fonts and owner commissioned ai images
The website uses system font fallbacks. Five text-free guide illustrations were commissioned by the owner through Higgsfield on 2026-08-27 and generated with nano_banana_2 after the requested model was adjusted by the service. Four additional topic-specific guide illustrations were commissioned directly by the owner through Google's gemini-3-pro-image model at native 2K on 2026-08-31; their prompts and generation metadata are stored with the project documentation. All nine illustrations are delivered locally as WebP files under public/images/guides and contain no copied third-party logos, screenshots or artwork.
- External standards and documentation
- linked and paraphrased
Reference pages link to primary sources and paraphrase narrowly supported facts without republishing source documents or protected artwork.
- User topic, selected mode/provider, language, country and transient fanout result
- server transient optional browser local copy
Input is transmitted to the ai-fanout.com endpoint and routed either directly to OpenAI or Google for native search, or through OpenRouter for modelled search ideas. The server stores no raw input or provider response. Only after an explicit save action may the visible result be retained in IndexedDB on that device for up to 30 days; it is not synchronized or reused as a shared cache.
- Umami page and product analytics
- privacy minimized first party measurement
The owner-operated Umami endpoint receives page analytics and only allowlisted product-event categories and bounded counts. URL search/hash values, raw keywords, provider outputs, query strings, source addresses, local-history content and user identifiers are excluded.
Current route policy
This is a fresh registration. The route manifest describes only the current product and normal unknown-path handling.
- Sitemap source
- central allowlist with editorial lastmod and hreflang
- Excluded routes
- /404, /tracker, /api, /lab, /protocol-builder, /research, /research/methodology, /datasets, /protocols/example-2026-08-22
- Unknown paths
- 404
- Catch-all redirect
- Disabled
Canonical English and German 200 pages are indexable and discovered through an automatically generated sitemap. The operational tracker remains noindex. Retired comparison and research routes, and all other unknown paths, return a real 404.
Still unknown
- Exact billed cost per OpenAI and Gemini run remains subject to provider-dashboard review; the UI shows a dated list-price estimate and the ledger retains a conservative EUR 0.10 reservation per Native Fanout request
- Provider terms for transient processing across OpenRouter, OpenAI and Google require ongoing operator review
- No public Gemini Grounded Result corpus or independent provider benchmark is authorized; the OpenAI-vs-Gemini page remains a local comparison protocol
- Google Search Console post-change crawl and index state after an eventual safe production release
