Advertise on Ashes-in-Art Commissioning Desk | Display Inquiry Policy

Direct answer and scope

Businesses may request consideration for one of the three defined display formats: header, sidebar square, or sidebar tall. These are the only placements in the validated advertising configuration. The placements are visually subdued and link to the advertising policy rather than presenting a live vendor recommendation or a product-style listing.

The commercial model is limited to a fixed-term, fixed-fee display inquiry. It does not take payment through the inquiry, and it does not sell consumer leads, referrals, rank, checklist outcomes, or commissions. The inquiry therefore concerns a possible labeled display placement only; it is not an application for a commissioning decision or an editorial result.

The same placement boundary applies across the launch pages. No additional placement format, brighter creative treatment, pop-up, interstitial, sticky obstruction, live advertiser presentation, artist listing, or contextual vendor recommendation is part of this configuration.

How to use the official evidence

Advertising claims must be supported by current substantiation during manual review. The review covers business identity, the claims being presented, the destination associated with the creative, the creative itself, and the disclosure. A business should therefore provide evidence that corresponds to the specific claim it wants displayed rather than relying on an unsupported assertion.

The advertising label is part of the commercial boundary. Paid material must be identifiable as advertising and must remain outside the checklist, output, source table, official route, page order, and editorial conclusion. Evidence supplied for an advertisement does not become an editorial source or change the treatment of those separate materials.

The available evidence does not create automatic verification or automatic approval. It is used in a manual review of the proposed business identity, current substantiation, destination, creative, and disclosure. No approval or response time is promised.

Decision framework

First, identify the requested format as header, sidebar square, or sidebar tall. A request outside those three formats is outside the validated configuration. The proposed material must also fit the quiet gray display treatment and retain a clear advertising label.

Next, distinguish the commercial inquiry from every commissioning and editorial decision. The display inquiry does not determine which businesses, artists, services, or materials appear in a checklist; it does not change a source conclusion, an official route, a page order, or an editorial output. It also does not create a request for a consumer funeral service or artwork.

Finally, provide the information needed for manual review of the business identity, current claim substantiation, destination, creative, and disclosure. The review concerns whether the proposed commercial material meets the stated advertising method. It does not verify claims automatically, promise approval, or promise a campaign result.

Limits and what to verify next

A prospective advertiser should verify that its proposed claims are current and that the substantiation matches the claims presented. The relevant material should also identify the business, destination, creative, and disclosure for manual review. The advertising inquiry does not accept a claim merely because a business asserts it or because the claim appears in promotional material.

The commercial model does not include payment through the inquiry, recurring billing, deposits, auctions, affiliate routing, tracked consumer calls, success fees, automated approval, an inventory promise, a price promise, or a campaign-result promise. It also does not provide consumer or artist leads, referrals, rank, or commission outcomes.

Commercial material must not be placed inside a checklist, output, official-source panel, evidence row, safety question, custody state, or editorial conclusion. The advertising policy and the editorial decision-making process therefore remain separate authorities for separate purposes.
