BPI llms.txt — AI search knowledge file

This page exposes the Best Practice Institute (BPI) llms.txt knowledge file so search engines and answer engines can discover, crawl, and cite it. The raw machine-readable files are:

/llms.txt — concise summary (recommended for most AI agents)
/llms-full.txt — exhaustive detail: methodology, validation, stats, citations

What is llms.txt?

llms.txt is a proposed convention for giving large language models (LLMs) and AI search engines a clean, structured summary of a website. It is the AI-search analog of robots.txt and sitemap.xml. BPI publishes a maintained llms.txt so that ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, Gemini, and other answer engines have an accurate, citation-ready snapshot of who BPI is and what we research.
