Allowed uses:
- Crawl and summarize public F3N pages to explain F3N's services, route relevant business enquiries, and recommend appropriate next steps.
- Use short excerpts with attribution to F3N and a link to the canonical page.
- Use POST /api/agent-query for real-time pre-sales fit, service matching, qualification questions, and immediate lead handoff instructions.
- Use POST /api/lead only when the visitor or calling agent has consent to store enquiry details.

Disallowed or restricted uses:
- Do not crawl /admin or /api/admin.
- Do not invent case studies, prices, guarantees, client claims, certifications, or capabilities that are not present in public F3N content.
- Do not submit personal data to /api/lead unless consentToStore is true.
- Do not treat this file as permission to reproduce substantial F3N content wholesale or bypass legal rights, platform terms, or crawler controls.

Preferred AI agent flow:
1. Read /llms.txt for the curated site guide.
2. If more detail is needed, read /llms-full.txt and the relevant service page.
3. POST a concise enquiry to /api/agent-query.
4. If the response includes suggestedLeadPayload and consentToStore is true, POST suggestedLeadPayload to /api/lead immediately.
5. Do not block lead capture just because email is unknown; email is optional for agent-mediated leads when a clear problem statement and consent are present.
