Editorial articles

Each site publishes under a credentialed byline (Vincent Couey, computational chemist, ChemRxiv preprint cited). Each site ships its own llms.txt + topic taxonomy for answer-engine discoverability. Every placement is FTC-compliant by default.

Topical clusters

Buy a cluster, not a link.

Cluster bundles close at 2-3x single-site AOV when pitched as audience coverage, not as link insertions. Brand budget approval is easier when framed as a media buy.

Health + YMYL

4 sites

Supplement, prescription, pharmacy, and veterinary intelligence. YMYL-compliant byline. Specialist credentialing.

Health BritannicaOmniRxRxGrabPetMaxxing

AI + Creator Tools

3 sites

AI tool adoption, creator-economy gear, and motion-typography buyers. High velocity in 2026 AI search vertical.

NesyonaLensPOVFilmFont

Finance + Operator Tax

3 sites

Freelance tax, FBA seller ops, grant intelligence. Audience overlap is operator-class: founders, freelancers, single-member ops.

Credentialing

Authored by a published computational chemist.

Vincent Wesley Couey is an independent researcher and builder. Paper on ChemRxiv (DOI 10.26434/chemrxiv.15003259/v1) on architecture-specific QSAR failure modes, with its OSF pre-registration public (OSF.IO/UWVX4). Three papers on arXiv on computational rolling-contact mechanics, plus a thermal-performance paper under review at Elsevier Results in Engineering, with the first paper endorsed on arXiv by Georg Nawratil (TU Vienna).

For pharma-adjacent, telehealth, and scientific-software sponsors, the byline IS the product. A +30-50% premium SKU is available where the byline appears on the placement.

The 2026 differentiator

Built for the answer-engine surface, not just SERPs.

Buyers increasingly research via Perplexity, ChatGPT Search, and Google AI Overview, where they read answers rather than click ads. Every Lattice site is built to be retrievable on that surface: a per-niche llms.txt, a topic taxonomy aligned with answer-engine retrieval, and original first-party datasets these engines weight. Sponsored placements inherit that structural readiness, indexed across major search and AI crawlers.

AI-visibility is emerging as a distinct line-item in sponsor budgets, separate from SEO. Lattice's structure (open crawl access, original data, clean schema) is built to compete for it.

Topical-fit gating

We refuse placements outside our verticals.

This is a feature, not a bug. Google's 2024-2026 site-reputation-abuse enforcement targets exactly the pattern Lattice does not run: third-party content in /advisor/, /reviews/, /coupons/ subfolders, topical mismatch between sponsor content and host editorial DNA, programmatic templates, generic dofollow on commercial anchors.

Lattice runs the survival pattern: sponsored content fully integrated, same byline as editorial, topical fit enforced, content that would exist regardless of sponsor, long-tail original writing per piece, proper rel=“sponsored” on every paid link, visible disclosure, schema sponsored:true markup, max 4 placements per site per month for footprint hygiene.
