## Additional resources (optional)
If you want a single-file ingest for smaller models, create `llms-full.txt` that concatenates cleaned text from the above pages (watch out for size/context-window limits).

## Notes for implementers
1) Save this file as plain UTF-8 text at:  
   https://www.twi-global.com/llms.txt

2) Make sure it is publicly accessible (no redirects that require cookies or JS). A good test:  
   curl -I https://www.twi-global.com/llms.txt

3) If you want to allow AI agents to ingest additional pages, add them to the "High-value pages" list with URL + short summary.

4) If you prefer a stricter legal claim (no scraping / no reuse), add a short "License / reuse" block here with the exact allowed usage and a machine-readable license URL.

5) Consider publishing `llms-full.txt` only for documentation that you explicitly want included in a single file (careful with proprietary or member-only content).
