what a rail slot is
Two narrow columns run down either side of the archive — the same rails on every page: the death list, each verdict, the comparison tool, the graveyard. A slot is one small card in one of those rails: your logo, your name, one line of pitch, one link. It stays put while people read, and it is labelled sponsored, always.
Higher slots sit further up the rail and are seen first, so they cost more. Prices and availability below are live — if a slot shows as booked, the date is when it frees up.
Click any slot below for the full details, the price and what you get.
One button fills in the slot, the dates and your card. Just hit send.
Meris replies with payment details and puts your card up — usually same day.
a note on independence
Sponsorship buys placement, not a verdict. A sponsored tool keeps whatever rating the archive gave it — a slot exists precisely so a company can argue its side in public rather than quietly buy a better grade. Sponsored slots are always labelled.
